Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online and was given a code challenge for Round 1. It was hard but doable with the amount of time given.

Moved on to the next round, which was a technical phone interview. I provided two approaches but couldn't figure out how to deal with edge cases. The interviewer was unhelpful and uninterested. He seemed to be reading off a prompt.

The rejection letter received was rude and unhelpful.
