Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Extremely unprofessional interviewer who worked on his own stuff the entire interview and deliberately didn't reveal the second part of the question. Attitude is bad and impatient. If you don't want to interview, just don't accept the interview. I'd pass on this one and seek out interviewers who are professional and fair.
Questions
Coding. Just general coding questions.
