Interviewed for a position in Toronto.

Everyone, except for 1 person was extremely nice during the process.

One engineer left a disgusting impression on me during the last coding challenge. Extremely rude, interrupted me constantly, didn't give me time to think about the problem before saying (word for word) "You clearly don't know the answer so I will just give it to you". At the end of the interview, he asked me if I had any questions which he never answered and deflected to the other engineer on the call.

On top of that, he was the only person throughout the entire process that did not turn on his webcam while his coworker had his on. For the first time ever during an interview I felt like hanging up because of his attitude.

I would never want to work with an engineer with this type of attitude.
