I was in the first round of a phone interview. I was given an algorithm question that seemed easy but was hard to solve. I tried different ways to approach it but failed at the end. The interviewer seemed unsatisfied and there was no response after

The interview was very competitive. I’m not really sure how I got it because I’m a pretty standard applicant. Anyway, I was on a call with about 30 other applicants answering the same question, and I almost started crying.

I went through multiple rounds of case studies and technical interviews. These interviews never seemed to go anywhere, and I was repeatedly routed back to recruiters. The recruiters were unhelpful and took multiple days to respond.
