Process

I applied online and after a week, I received a coding challenge. After completing the coding challenge, a few weeks passed. I then received an email about having phone call interviews. It was two interviews, back to back, 45 minutes each.

Questions

The question they asked me dealt with data structures and algorithms, definitely on the hard end of the spectrum. The first interviewer was very interactive and helpful, and I ended up solving the question. The second interviewer was super rude and belittled my work. He didn't say a word during the whole 45 minutes of the interview, and if he did, it wasn't something nice.
