The process began with a phone screen presenting an overview of the company, followed by a technical phone interview.

For the technical phone interview, I spoke with a hiring manager and completed a couple of programming questions on Coderpad.

During the interview, the interviewer misconstrued a number of my statements by making negative assumptions about my answers. When asked about challenges I faced, they proceeded to offer unwarranted life advice about how to find them while interviewing. I was simply trying to answer a question about challenges reasonably, not seek out a life coach. There were other similar reactions while I was working through the coding portion.

I did make a mistake during part of the coding portion where I accidentally confused n log(n) with log(n). I received a rejection email about an hour after the interview.

While it's probably nice knowing right away that you are rejected, I believe this outcome speaks more to the negative assumptions made during the interview. I feel a better process would involve more reflection on your assumptions.
