I felt I was interviewed by someone quite inexperienced, and the goal of the interview was to test my patience.

The interviewer shared a description with me. What I found out towards the end was that we were to follow it specifically, word-by-word, to match the "spec."

However, the interviewer never shared this expectation or had the description neatly outlined, so I read it a bit more freely and still did my best to ask clear questions. But sometimes that just doesn't work.

It just felt overly complicated for the wrong reasons and was a frustrating experience.

A very basic coding interview, but we weren't aligned in communication.
