Sen Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a staffing agency.

It was an unprofessional interview experience. We didn't even introduce ourselves. He directly jumped to the coding problem. I don't know why he did that. I even joined two to three minutes before.

He gave me a problem, and he struggled a lot to explain the problem statement. I did a few cross-questions, but he changed the question. I don't know why. He said, "Let's do another question." Then he gave me another LeetCode problem statement.

I solved it, but he was using a LeetCode tool at his end to verify the answers if all the test cases were passing. He told me that a few were failing. I fixed it, and he then said out of 212 test cases, a few were still failing. I got the solution to solve that failing scenario, but he said, "I am not happy with this iterating approach of solving the problem." He was so rude. No one would like to work with this kind of person who disrespects others. He wanted me to solve the problem in the first attempt. I couldn't do that, and also all my test cases didn't pass. So I didn't do well in the interview.

It is fine if you reject someone, but rudeness is not the correct way. They should take professional classes for their employees.
