Process
The problem was easy, with a medium follow-up. I was able to solve the first part, but I needed hints to optimize it. The interviewer looked like he didn't want to be there. He was a little rude and didn't make me feel welcome.

Pros: - Cultural values are practical and solution-oriented.

Cons: Need better reward policies to ensure employees are also focused on long-term impact.
If you're not mature enough, do not join.
