Process
The interview started with sending an email and picking a time. I faced a problem picking the date.
After successfully picking the date, the HR sent an email, and we confirmed the meeting.
The HR was so mean, and I didn't expect to pass to the next level.
The second round was problem-solving, which is usual for any developer. The third round was peer programming, and here the interview went south.
