Process
This guy calls you unannounced around 7 PM and tells you that due to recent recruiting failures, he wants to ask you some questions. This turned out to be a 30-minute interview. He starts with networking concepts (even if your CV doesn't suggest that you have them), then logic and coding questions. Another ridiculous company that wastes your time and treats you badly.
Questions
He asks you about defining a function that checks if a string is a palindrome, and some other TCP/UDP deep questions.
