Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

One round of recruiter call. The recruiter rescheduled the call 5 times (not exaggerating). When we finally got on the call, he sounded unenthusiastic about the company, with lots of sighs. He even said that he was already in a Friday mood (it was a Wednesday).

He asked me about what I knew about the company. I gave him a high-level description, and he made fun of me for not giving detailed enough information and not doing my research before the interview. Overall, he came off as rude.

I will not be moving forward with them. He also seemed very stuck on the leveling of the position. This could be a good thing, but I've never had a recruiter needing me to have the exact title from my last company. As far as I know, these titles mean different things at different companies.
