The interview was conducted in a timely manner, as if they were in a rush to interview as many people as possible rather than trying to find a good candidate. In one hour, you needed to answer a ton of questions. While answering, you were constantly stopped mid-sentence by the interviewer before even finishing what you had to say (as if it were an interrogation where guards would bring a water bucket and electrodes if you didn't stop lying). In general, an atmosphere of mistrust predominated throughout the whole interview; it felt like the interviewer simply didn't believe my experience.

The last part was a coding challenge for which you had exactly 10 minutes left. Of course, just making it work wasn't enough, but there were no clear requirements for what else was needed either (perhaps a functional programming idiomatic solution was expected, even if it wasn't needed to achieve the result?).

After I got feedback, it was clear to me that the interviewer hadn't even paid attention to what I was explaining or wasn't familiar with the topics he was asking about, except maybe a few buzzwords he read on Hacker News that morning. Basically, your professional skills do not really matter, as these are definitely not the criteria they use to find people.

In general, I must say that this is the second worst interview process I have ever experienced. The gold medal goes to a company where the technical interview was done by HR, who had an Excel sheet open with technical questions in the form of a quiz where you had to mark the correct answer. However, Epic Games definitely got the silver. I hope such etiquette does not translate into their work environment.

To sum up: the interview process puts the company in a not-very-good light, at least in my eyes.

Rename files in one directory from .*foo to *.bar. Existing applications or libraries cannot be used, so it's expected for you to develop your own. This is not articulated in the task description, so you need to come up with this conclusion on your own. You have only 10 minutes for that.
