I contacted a recruiter by email and received a call for a phone interview within a few days.

During the phone interview, the interviewer asked me to SSH into their system. He then posed a question on removing nodes in a linked list that had a particular integer data value.

He had some code ready, and I had to write the code for the function RemoveNode, compile, and run it. I made some logical errors, which led to a Segmentation Fault. The interviewer was not helpful and would sometimes not respond at all when I asked a question.

He then asked a vague question about how I would debug the code if a customer complained about the system not working. I provided an answer, but he decided to end the interview. He stated I need more practice and would like me to reapply when I am ready.

In short, it was a rejection at the end of the call itself.
