The process, as such, is standard. Three interviewers were good. The other two, I felt, had some solution in mind and wanted me to approach it the exact same way.

It's almost as if they expect one to memorize a solution and produce the output. There is absolutely no room for creative thinking. The interviewer does not work with the interviewee to produce a better solution; instead, they expect textbook answers.

An interview should not be a place where skills are judged based on the number of lines of code or code beautification. Instead, one should try to evaluate skills based on thinking and the approach taken. I was totally disappointed by the process.

Some scheduling questions.
