Process
Interviewed with the recruiter for fairly general questions. Then, I had a technical interview using CodeSignal.
The technical interviewer's first words were, "I can't wait until this day is over." They were rude and interruptive the whole time. I got a pretty clear indication early in the interview that my fate was pre-destined. There was no introspection on how their behavior reflects on their own company's character.
Questions
Code problem: Divide a pool of money between different payees.
