Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
After a recruiter chat, I had a system design as the phone screen round. The interviewer was not engaged at all, which made most of the interview awkward. The problem was absolutely vague, and he was not providing hints to unblock my thinking.
