Process
Interviewed by an arrogant robot from Beijing. He called himself a manager and started the interview with a question, with no introduction.
That's fine. While introducing myself, he interrupted me halfway and said he used to work at Amazon, not sure why.
He asked one coding question. While I was thinking, he quickly changed to another question. Must be fun working for this guy.
