Process
Easy questions.
The first interviewer was really nice, helpful, and interactive throughout. I was able to solve his question and provide alternative solutions because he explained it very well.
In contrast, the second interviewer, likely interviewing from home, was unhelpful and disinterested. He spent only a couple of lines on the question and let me proceed. When I provided a solution, it was incomplete due to a lack of understanding of the question itself.
There was no interaction during the interview; I was encouraged to run my code rather than engage in a "discussion".
tldr; I have had better interview experiences, and it is frustrating when you know you could have performed better with a more engaged interviewer, as it is a two-way interaction.
