Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
Immediately, I was unable to reschedule and was forced to do the interview at their preferred time, even though it was very inconvenient for me.
The first interview, the interviewer sabotaged me by not letting me solve the LeetCode question that required the usage of fast/slow pointers.
Overall, this was the worst company I have ever interviewed with, despite 10 years of working in tech, and I will probably never interview with them again.
