Process
There were three rounds.
The first was about resume and behavior questions, and it was okay. The interviewer wanted details, and I tried my best.
The second was an OOD, and it was a disaster. The interviewer was pretty amateur or felt superior somehow. He never answered any question other than user cases; instead, he just shrugged his shoulders, saying, “It’s your design.” I believe no matter how the interviewee does, the interviewer should always remain active, polite, and professional and at least show some respect. That is basic conduct, and clearly, the interviewer lacked it. I failed this round at last.
The third was a conversation with one of the engineers. She was nice.
The company itself is great; high-tech stuff.
Questions
