Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

First was a coding invitation, then a recruiter phone screen.

After that, I was scheduled for a technical phone round.

The interviewer joined late at first, and due to network issues, we were delayed by a few more minutes.

After we started, the interviewer asked to design a couple of features of their application (DS, Algo) and then added a couple more functionalities.

I was able to get all questions.

In the end, I was implementing the last feature, and the interviewer rushed me, saying that I only had a few minutes left (basically my interview time just got shorter because the person arrived late, something that was not my fault).

I somehow managed to miss a part of the feature, but the interviewer didn't ask me to try to implement it, so I didn't stress out.

I was later rejected, saying that the last part which I couldn't implement was crucial and that is why they rejected me. BS.

They are completely binary in their decision-making, and the fact that they do not clarify things that matter to them the most is frustrating.
