Lead Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

Recruiter from Freshworks messaged me on LinkedIn for the opening. I filled the form and then he asked for the introductory round on phone.

Recruiter told me it will be just 35-40 min telephonic interview, but interview was taken on Zoom by 2 managers which lasted for 80 minutes.

Both the interviewers were not keen to listen. They kept me asking about the topics which I have not worked upon. Also on design questions, I kept asking the questions about requirement, but they didn't bother to answer.

From the experience, I could not understand how the company has 4.3 rating on Glassdoor. Work culture looks totally toxic.
