The interviewer insisted on a video call during the middle of the workday, so I used a conference room for my video call. The connection was poor, and he was using a $5 headset with a microphone on the connecting wire. It was almost impossible to understand what he was saying with the poor connection.

He answered the call with, "I presume you've read the job description, so I don't need to review what I expect."

That bizarre opening statement was followed by a 30-minute technical quiz, which jumped from topic to topic with no real thread of consistency.

During the interview, he continued to work and interrupted several times with, "Hang on for a second, I need to check this."

After 10 minutes, I realized I would never work for this man but stayed on the line for the whole interview out of courtesy. After 30 minutes of the technical quiz, he ended the interview with, "The 30 minutes are up. Thank you."

There were no questions about my background or previous experience, and no time to ask questions or hear about the job.

Definitely the most bizarre and disrespectful interview I have ever had in my working life.

All technical questions about Linux internals and detailed programming scenarios.
