Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had a technical interview that lasted for 45 minutes. However, the interviewer spent 30 minutes discussing my projects, which left me only 10 minutes to code. After she presented the question, I asked for clarification on some assumptions. It seemed like she was occupied with something else and did not reply. Consequently, I had to solve the question based on my own assumptions. Of course, I did not finish coding.
