Process
The first technical round lasted 45 minutes. Fifteen minutes were spent discussing my resume, followed by 30 minutes of data structures and algorithms.
The interviewer was quite rude and dismissive, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Despite completing the round, the recruiter completely ghosted me with no follow-up or feedback.
This lack of professionalism and communication reflects poorly on the company's culture, which appears toxic and disrespectful of candidates' time. Would not recommend.
