I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. A first round with the recruiter was followed by a phone interview, which was problem-solving focused.

While the recruiter was nice, the phone interviewer was a little rude. There was no discussion about my profile or the job. The first question he asked was, "Do you have your Google Doc open? I have a problem to solve for you."

Is this how you conduct an interview? I was expecting it to be friendly, being an Alphabet company, but it turned out to be otherwise. And, not to forget, the call quality was poor.

I eventually solved the problem; however, I didn't bother asking for feedback from the recruiter after this experience.
