Process
A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn.
I spoke on the phone with the Engineering Manager and had a technical screen with a Front End Engineer.
The interviewer came off as very arrogant and made me feel like he was looking down upon me throughout the interview. At one point, he asked me to comment out a line of code. I couldn't hear him well, so he yelled "Comment OUT!"
Eighty percent of the time, I was coding by myself, and the interviewer did not give any hints when I was stuck. There was dead silence on the phone.
At the end of the interview, he didn't give me time to ask questions and said, "Thank you for THAT."
Overall, it was a really negative experience, and I will never be interviewing with Coursera again.
