Process
Very bad interview experience. The interviewer didn't pay attention to me and worked on his own things during the interview. He refused to talk to me to some degree and seemed to want to end the interview quickly so he could work on his things. I am glad that I got rejected; otherwise, I may need to work with this kind of person.
