Five rounds of interviews were planned.

After the first technical interview, I realized that it was not what I was looking for, as it involved a rigid approach and inflexible communication.

I was told to open a text editor and start writing code. The problem was to traverse a so-called tree and display a result. It seemed pretty simple, but when I asked for an explanation, that's where the inflexibility began. Any questions I asked were met with vague answers.

The approach to the problem was fixed, with no acceptance of alternative variants or free discussion. I had to use an array for storage, not a list or a model, and received no details about what exactly must be displayed (Id, Name, etc.), only the nodes.

I had the same feeling as in interviews 15 years ago. I think I'm getting used to discussing issues too much .

Q: What are your expectations?

Q: What is your experience?

Q: What is the most challenging experience in development that you have had until now?
