I had an interview loop with them, which was probably one of the most bizarre in my career. They kept saying they needed someone really good, but they weren’t willing to pay well. They asked me c++ puzzles, but sometimes they didn’t seem to understand them themselves.

In the final coding round, I felt the interviewer wanted me to fail. He kept giving me task after task while also working on his own things. At that point, I didn’t put in much effort—I felt like he just wanted to prove he was good, and neither the team nor the compensation seemed worth it.

They claimed they were looking to hire colleagues who get along well!

In the end, I did get a job with strong developers, but those interviewers are still saying they’re looking for someone good :)
