The recruiter contacted me, and after that, there was a period of silence. I had to follow up to get the telephonic interview scheduled. I cleared the telephonic interview and was waiting for the in-person interview to be scheduled. I waited for a long time. At last, I had to call and ask. The recruiter didn't pick up the phone but called back after days, apologizing that he/she had forgotten. Later on, it got scheduled.

To reach the location, although instructions were provided, I later found that they lacked proximity details. It took me 15-20 minutes to locate the office. The bad experience started here.

Now, the interview – the interviewers were a little rude in their speech. I had questions for them, but they never bothered to answer. Pretty lame, huh?

Technical questions were okay, in fact solvable, but there was one question that could not be solved in the 30-minute duration. Still, I managed to solve it and clearly communicate that it was unsolvable. God knows what was going on in the interviewer's mind.

Overall, a negative experience.

The unexpected one was a puzzle.

I can't imagine people still base their hiring decisions on puzzles.
