Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was emailed by a recruiter about two weeks after applying for a first interview. That went pretty well, with only one LeetCode Easy problem and background questions.

I was called back for a second round, which was supposed to be a day with four interviews. They canceled the last one and only told me after I emailed them during the supposed time.

The other three interviews were pretty bad: interviewers didn't have their cameras on and didn't seem interested in what I had to say at all.

I also haven't heard back from them yet.
