C++ Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

Process

I was recruiting through the Early Access program. The process described was one 30-minute virtual technical round, then one 60-minute technical round, then onsite.

Even though the job title had C++ in it and the recruiter's email said I would be asked to code in C++, the interview ended up being in Python.

And the interviewer looked like he really didn't want to be there. Answered my questions with like one word each. Pretty sure he wasn't even paying attention during the interview.

The question was pretty easy, but it was like I was talking to a brick wall. Bad interview experience, waste of time and prep.
