The interview process involves 90 minutes of your time via a CodeSignal, a 20-minute HR screen, a 1-hour technical interview, and then the onsite, which I believe was supposed to be 3 technical and 1 behavioral.

For most experienced engineers, I don't believe the questions they ask are too difficult; I'd place them around LeetCode mediums and easys.

The CodeSignal went well, and so I made it to the first technical interview. The question in and of itself wasn't very difficult; however, the engineer I spoke to wasn't very receptive to alternative approaches. I suggested an alternative on how to optimize the code we worked on, and he didn't like it very much, as he had a preconceived approach in mind. As far as complexity is concerned, it would have been just as efficient.

Something tells me that, as a potential team member, he's very clearly the type to push his own agenda.

When he was trying to explain the preconceived approach he had in mind, I hadn't understood it very well. There were moments during our Zoom interview where I could see him laughing on screen, which just completely made my nerves way worse than necessary.

Compared to other interviews that I have had in the past, their difficulty is very reasonable. However, I think there needs to be better training on the interviewer's side, as having a candidate very visibly see their interviewer laugh on screen is not helpful in the slightest.

There have been other interviews here mentioned where past interviewers have also been just as arrogant, so this is not the first incidence of the "culture".

General OOP, optimizing the methods written, and understanding the complexity. However, the interviewer was not receptive to alternative approaches and spouted his own agenda.
