This was one of the worst interviews I have ever had! I strongly advise against interviewing here. The quality of their engineers appears to be terrible.

The interview process was fairly typical until the technical phone screen.

1. HR intro call
2. Interview with a Hiring Manager (so far so good)
3. Technical Phone screen

The interviewer did not even introduce himself or ask anything about me. He took his time selecting a question from the Hackerrank platform and presented it to me.

I provided a solution that passed all test cases on the first attempt.

This interviewer tested me on Java SDK-specific functionality. He asked me, "What is the function in Java that will give you a positive value regardless of the sign of the number?" Who tests a candidate on such specific language functionality?

Despite solving the problem and offering additional solutions, I received a rejection. This reflects the interviewer's incompetence more than my own.

I requested feedback from HR regarding what went wrong and areas for improvement. I have not yet received a response.
