The interviewer put an unnecessary amount of pressure on a third-year college student by talking about their careers in detail, when most of what they were saying we didn't fully understand. This made it harder for them to show their real skills. Also, one of the interviewers was talking to someone else, leaving the mic open while I was solving a problem.

They asked me to implement the add method for a binary tree, followed by a problem to find its brute force solution.

The second interview was to implement an algorithm with three pointers to shrink a string by the number of repeated characters and override the original string with the answer.
