Process

I took the on campus interview this week. The interview itself was not difficult, but the interviewer was scary.

From the very beginning when I was introducing myself, he seemed disagreed with me. And when I was answering the interview questions, he was not smiling at all, playing his phone for some time and reading emails for the other time. That made me nervous and failed to come up with a solution for the final question. At last when I was asking questions, his answers were short and simple and it was embarrassing. And he ended the interview 10 minutes earlier.

Questions

I have some questions about load balancer algorithm design. The process was quite simple.
