Extremely Unprofessional.
I was applying for a position in ByteDance's global e-commerce division. I was asked to draw a diagram of my current company's e-commerce systems and all the technologies within them.
I stated that I didn't actually set up those systems, and asking about how they worked would not reflect anything about my skillset, and that that information was proprietary.
The interviewer said I was taking it the wrong way.
The interviewer then asked me how my company dealt with noisy input data from a part of the system that was not even handled by my organization.
I cut off the interview halfway through the coding section when it was obvious the interviewer was not prepared for anything except asking how my current company designed their system.
