Joined a call with a "Vice president" developer. Didn't ask any personal or CV questions which I thought was strange as I was told this was the initial non technical interview. The guy interviewing me had his camera off the whole time, was a bit awkward and didn't show any great interest in me as a person. The person interviewing me kind of ambushed me by giving me a random coding problem which I wasn't told to prepare for. Moreover, they asked me to write the solution in notepad without any help from Google and asked me to share my screen and keep my camera on so "I wasn't cheating".

Albeit I flunked this spot test, and yeah, I had gaps in my knowledge and in hindsight, this company probably wasn't for me. But it's 2022/23, are we really expecting every developer to know every single JavaScript method from scratch ? Are you really expecting every developer working for your company to never look up how to do certain things? Is googling a random JavaScript coding problem 5 min before an interview, expecting the interviewee to do it in 10 min, giving 1 sentence answers to my questions, asking no questions about my CV and not even having the respect to show your face on camera when I have taken time out of my day to attend this interview a good way to screen candidates? Really felt like a "gotcha" interview and that I was there to stroke the interviewers ego more than anything.

What tech stack have you used?
