MTS-2 Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The interviewer was extremely rude. He joined the zoom call 30 minutes late and decided to finish the interview 10 minutes before time. He was constantly distracted and kept changing his meeting rooms. He was busy wrapping up his work while I was answering questions.
Questions
There were a lot of interruptions in my interview. He briefly asked me what the difference between SQL and NoSQL is. He followed it up by asking the difference between DocumentDB and NoSQL.
