Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had an initial phone screen, followed by a technical interview with two engineers. We got off to a rough start.

I couldn't really hear them because they were calling into a conference call line. Next, they asked a very minutiae-based question, and when I responded incorrectly, they actually laughed at me.

This culture really turned me off. It also didn't help that they proceeded with that round and made me do a coding project for them, then never responded after I sent it back. I only received a response weeks later, after I emailed them.
