I had a phone screen with an HR representative, which went great.

A subsequent phone/video screen was scheduled a few days later. This interview started and ended poorly.

• The interviewer called me 10 minutes late and seemed neither prepared nor practiced in conducting an interview.
• The interviewer made it clear they had no notion of the position I was applying for or my background.
• I was given roughly 10-15 minutes to solve the problem while being interrupted with questions, even as I was explaining my thought process and trying to focus on the task. This occurred multiple times.
• The interviewer attempted to be "helpful" by typing in some static data I would need to run tests for the challenge. When I encountered compiler errors due to this "help," I was not offered an explanation that the data had been typed with incorrect syntax. I had to discover this myself. Thanks.
• The interviewer ultimately cut the interview short, stating it was so I could ask my questions. However, they then cut it short again to leave approximately 15 minutes early.

About a day after this experience, I received an email stating they were not interested (surprise surprise) and asked me not to reply with any questions or follow-up. That was not my intention, but it came across as more than a little rude, especially given the experience I had just had.

I would not recommend subjecting yourself to this process. I am surprised at how much of a time waste this was, given the positive things I had heard about the company. I am willing to admit that I am not a perfect engineer and that not every role is a good fit, but this seemed to be a blatant waste of time and demonstrated an apparent lack of care and disrespect for my time and theirs. Gusto, you are not putting your best face forward.
