Front-End Engineer Interview Experience - Madrid, Spain
Process
It was the algorithms interview. The HR warned me that there would be two algorithmic questions, but during the actual interview, they presented me with only one. I solved that one and asked about the second. The interviewer told me that there wouldn't be a second one. After the interview, I was rejected. The reason given was that I didn't solve the second question, but there was no second question. This was the worst experience I've ever had.
