Forward Deployed Software Engineer Interview Experience - Turkey

Process

I had trouble dealing with the coding question for the first five minutes, then apparently the interviewer lost his interest, and he started doing a lot of other things. I was able to deal with the question later, but the interviewer was not very interested in the conversation; he chatted with someone else and he laughed sometimes. I have tried my solution with the input he provided, then I mentioned that I might be biased towards his input and changed his input to something else and tested with it as well. The interviewer had no idea I changed the input for like 5 minutes since he was doing other things and asked me questions without realizing the input had been modified. After that, we moved to another question. But he was keep being disrespectful and not fully listening to me; at some point, he opened a video, and I heard its voice. It becomes very, very hard when you are trying to communicate everything you are thinking/coding while the other person is not fully listening to you. I had the optimized solution about the second question, but I was not able to code it in time. After the phone interview, the recruiter updated me. I had some positives, but they decided not to continue to the process, and he said maybe we can arrange a feedback call. I agreed to a feedback call so that I could tell about the disrespectful interviewer. We had scheduled the feedback call like 3 weeks ago because the recruiter was going to be off in the next weeks. Finally, when the feedback call time came, the recruiter did not show up and mailed me he was sorry and he could not make the call. Then I decided to mail about my bad experience with the interviewer and mailed him. The recruiter responded that he is very sorry about the bad experience I had and given some positive feedback about me. He offered me a second phone interview, but I did not want to make a second interview.
