My interviewer was absolutely terrible. Right off the bat, it was obvious that they were very rude, cold, and unhelpful.
We started by talking briefly about what I was studying in school. Then, we quickly launched into the technical question. It was actually an easy question, but my interviewer and I had a bit of a 'language barrier.' I don't judge people based on how well they speak English, but if they are interviewing predominantly English-speaking computer science students for a position, then they had better speak English up to a certain proficiency where there is little or no risk of their lack of proficiency getting in the way of a fair interview.
As a result of significant miscommunication, I ended up answering the question correctly. Unfortunately, it turned out at the end that I did not answer exactly what they wanted. It was a shame, really, because it was a rather easy question, and I could have answered what they wanted in my sleep!
Just a terrible experience all around.
I only received one question, related to array traversal.
