Process
I was told to code. I finished in 40 minutes.
I gave the perfect solution, since I googled it later. However, the interviewer was trying hard not to encourage me and had a rude tone with hard-to-understand speech.
I just increased my confidence by answering accurately. I do not like the policy for not disclosing the reason for rejection, and rightly so.
