The interview process was fairly straightforward, with a simple coding question. I answered it and showed that the code would work with specific test cases. The interviewer, although a bit rude, seemed to agree on the solution.

I wrote the complete code in Java, with appropriate syntax. It's surprising to me that despite answering the question correctly, I didn't get to the next round.

It's likely that the decision was not just a function of my programming skills, but it's inexcusable that tech companies are often disingenuous and non-transparent about the process. It only reflects poorly on the company's culture.
