Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom

Process

Very rude interviewer and the worst interviewing experience I've ever had.

The first oddity was being asked to turn off the camera. I was then asked an algorithm question, and I proposed a solution. However, the interviewer repeatedly interrupted me, stating I was wrong without offering any guidance. I attempted to explain the benefits of my algorithm, but they dismissed my points without explanation.

The interviewer laughed a few times, remarking that I seemed to have only one solution in mind, which was ironic given their own approach.

If this is how people work together at Jane Street, I would not want to join the company.
