One phone interview led to an invitation for a first-round on-site interview.

I met six people consecutively for about five hours.

However, I did not meet the hiring manager and was not informed of his name beforehand.

I suspect I did not impress them greatly, but I received positive responses from most. A couple of coding questions were asked by almost everyone.

I answered most of them correctly. I realized a mistake in my approach for the last one after returning home.

Even though I am a very strong programmer with over 20 years of experience and consistently rank at the top of my team, I understand a slight mistake might have influenced the situation during the interview.

I believe this on-site interview process was rude and disrespectful to the candidate.

This is because I did not meet my hiring manager or have even a brief conversation with him.

Some basic string searching or reversing a linked list.

Finding the maximum sum in a row of an integer array (contains negative numbers) - incorrect solution approach I made here.
