Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter forwarded me the role.

We set up a 60-minute phone and HackerRank assessment.

The interviewer introduced himself. I talked about my resume and past positions, then he pasted in one problem (see below).

I had to think about it for a few minutes before I thought of a solution. During that time, the interviewer kept interrupting me, asking if I had a solution or not.

Eventually, I did and I coded it out. Then he asked for a few more additional features, which I coded without any hesitation.

By then, the 60 minutes were almost up, and I asked a few questions about the role and environment there.

It seemed to go well except for the impatience right after giving me the technical problem.
