Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The HR representative was very rude and cut me off multiple times while I was talking during the initial recruiting screen. I was scheduled for the first round of coding interviews, which was a straightforward React challenge. I was able to complete it very well and was hoping for an on-site interview. However, I ended up receiving a rejection email the following day. I don't know what went wrong.
