Recruiter Hackerrank test Live coding.

I do not understand why companies nowadays think it's a good idea to do live coding, especially with developers who are not prepared at all to deal with people. As a person who suffers from anxiety, it is the hardest thing to go through one of these, in which you get judged by the second. That being said, up to the live coding interview, I was quite enjoying the process as I really thought of Revolut as a good company. Unfortunately, this interview made me change my mind about it.

The round of presentation took 5 seconds each person (it was one shadow developer, the interviewer, and me). It didn't seem like they wanted to get to know me at all nor talk about themselves. I felt like I was "candidate #412".

Then it started, and I got nervous because I would not understand what the interviewer actually wanted. As I would ask, it honestly felt like he was doing me a favor by being there. At some point, it just got to an awkward silence, and I started counting the minutes for it to be over. The interviewer would not "read the room" to see the amount of pressure that was there. The shadow developer seemed way more prepared, as I could notice through his body language and facial expressions.
