The interview process began with an emailed offer from the company for a phone interview.
The phone interview was extremely unprofessional. The interviewer was not paying attention; I believe he was on the phone and also emailing.
I got the first three questions correct. For the fourth question, he told me I was wrong after I waited two minutes for him to realize he was in an interview. Then, after another minute, he decided my code actually worked.
The interview then presented a fifth question. I approached it correctly but mixed up a few things and presented the answer. I asked the interviewer what he thought.
He finished an email and then went on to tell me it was wrong, and nothing more. As he ignored me some more, I became annoyed and decided there was no use in going on. I thought the company was a little more professional.
