Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

One of the worst interview experiences I've had.

For a staff role, they ask you an LC-style coding question, and despite solving the problem, they fail you for silly reasons.

The interviewer looked like he hated his life, and the way he answered my questions on company outlook and WLB was sketchy at best.

Looking at the current market conditions and the murky future of the company, perhaps I dodged a bullet.
