Process

My initial phone interview was rescheduled within 10 hours of the original time, which was the first red flag about the company. The phone interview went great, and I moved on to the technical interview.

The technical interviewer from the data team was one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional people I have ever met. As we were introducing ourselves, he did not seem to care about anything I was saying and ended up looking at his phone while I was talking. I was then asked two LeetCode medium questions. As I was explaining how I would approach the problem and edge cases, he cut me off and said to just solve the problem within 15 minutes, then went back on his phone. When I asked him to check the syntax for a certain Python function, he did not reply. I called out his name, and he looked up from his phone, confused about what my code aimed to accomplish, even though I had verbally explained everything. I figured it out and finished the first LeetCode medium within 15 minutes. The interviewer did not discuss my code; he just copied and pasted it into his computer and told me to do the next question. I was not able to finish the second LeetCode medium within the remaining 15 minutes.

I did not feel like the interviewer wanted to get to know me, my thought process, or my skills. I feel like I dodged a bullet with this company.
