Process
The recruiter was obviously inexperienced. They always took a really long time to respond and just copied and pasted boilerplate responses, which weren't always relevant.
The phone interview was over 15 minutes late. The interviewer asked trivial questions that I would argue don't even relate to the practice of software engineering. Perhaps I was supposed to get through more problems in the short time period? I didn't really get any feedback.
