Process

Extremely bad interview experience.

I had a telephonic round recently, and the interviewer was a young guy. The coding problem was pretty simple, and I was confident enough to finish it in time. However, as soon as I started writing, the interviewer forced me to modify it according to what was in his mind.

He didn't provide sample outputs at the start. As soon as I started writing sample outputs to come up with the solution, he pasted the output from somewhere (probably LeetCode).

When I asked him a few doubts regarding the output he pasted, he said he didn't know.

Interviewers, please note that there are many ways in which we can code or think. Don't interrupt the candidates' thinking process unless they have made some major blunders.
