Process
I had an initial phone screen where I was asked questions about networks and Layer 2/Layer 3 switching. That went well.
They then scheduled a follow-up interview. I asked if there would be a LeetCode-style portion to the interview. Instead of a direct "yes" or "no," I was given new questions and an evasive answer.
I informed them I would attend the interview, even though my question was not answered. Shortly after, I was told they were no longer interested in speaking with me.
