Backend Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I have never had a more unprofessional interview in my career. The interviewer had his camera on and was clearly working in his bedroom, which isn't an issue, but he didn't blur the background. He had laundry, including his underpants, hanging right behind him. There was also an open door in the background that someone kept walking past, which was distracting. He was jumping all over the place with questions during the interview and kept interrupting to take notes, which threw me off. It's a shame Monzo doesn't have a better structure for their interviews.
