I was contacted on LinkedIn by HR and was advised to apply for a specific role after she sent my resume to their teams. This whole process was a big lie.

They told me there would be a coding interview. Instead, a person showed up a few minutes late who could not speak English clearly. I had to ask him several times to repeat himself to understand what he was saying.

He told me this was not a coding interview. I was surprised but went along anyway. He started asking me to explain the Big O of different STL containers, so make sure to memorize those like a parrot. Then he asked me some multi-threading questions.

It is very annoying to be told an interview is about one thing and then be asked totally different questions. P.S. He didn't know there is a language called Elixir and asked me about it when I mentioned I worked with it, questioning its relevance.

I saved the best for last: Rate the programming languages you have on your resume from 0-10.
