Process
I spoke with the recruiter to set up a pair programming session on CoderPad.
The coding question wasn't grueling, but the interviewer didn't really "help." Instead, they made condescending statements that dampened my confidence.
I believe the experience would have been better if the interviewer wasn't saying "uh huh" and at least pretended to be involved in the process.
I never heard back from the recruiter or anyone else after that.
The question was of medium difficulty on LeetCode.
