Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
1st Zoom meeting was great. The interviewer asked the standard relevant questions about software and my experience.
Failed 2nd Zoom meeting. 2nd interviewer was arrogant, condescending and hostile - it was obvious from the start he had some else in mind.
Questions
The first question concerned an obscure (trivial) Linux command.
