It was fun but pointless. Good interviews; I think I did well. There was some cool stuff to discuss with the guys after solving the problem.

Now, I'm not surprised that my time was wasted; that's how the market is now. But why waste the time of their own engineers? Or is this to remind them that job searches suck?
