I had four off-site phone interviews and one on-site interview. I went through the whole process twice.

The recruiter the last time was high-pressure and kept repeating how they actually wanted two or more answers done per 40 minutes on-site. It felt like cattle, especially when the engineers would stand right next to me and expect coding done almost without thinking.

I have no clue what made me go through it twice, but they really don't even realize how much their process sucks, which makes it even worse. Sorry to share so negatively, but it was just a horrible experience.

I tend to be reflective and iterate through code with many small experiments, which makes my code super reliable. There was no way to show these skills, and I ended up breaking under the pressure.

One phone interview was finding all common parents for a set of nodes on a tree.
