Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

It went from behavioral to technical questions in 0-60.

I do not know if this was the intention or not, but it gave me the feeling of being arbitrarily hard, described below.

Questions

I mentioned I do a lot of coding practice. This shifted gears for the interview to become basically a "hard" level coding practice question: finding the median of two sorted arrays. I was able to give the basic concept of how it could be done, but then the interviewer also wanted a verbal account for how to handle edge cases. It seems very hard compared to other questions posted here.
