Truly the worst interview experience I ever had.

I knew something was fishy when they asked me to open up an IDE on my personal computer and screenshare (they didn't notify me about this before the interview).

Would it have been an automatic disqualification if I didn't have one installed? What if I was on a friend's computer that didn't have a dev environment set up, now what?

They didn't even have a question on hand; they freestyled it on the spot! I've interviewed with their competitors and received offers, so I know what I went through today is not the industry standard.

Is it really that hard to make an online codepen session and send a link out?

I get that the people conducting the interviews are sometimes doing it against their will, so I understand it can be a chore. But don't suck your teeth and groan when I ask questions like "what is your role at the company" and "what is company culture like?" It makes you and the company look bad.

When I attend technical interviews, I always leave the session learning something new, even if it goes south. This time I just felt disrespected and cheated out of a fair chance.

Extremely unprofessional experience; at least I learned that company culture is in the gutter.
