Process
The interviewers were really irritating. It was like they had decided from the start that they were not interested in taking the interview and were forced into it. They were interested in the solution that they thought was correct and kept cutting me off on everything that I was trying to do. I am happy I didn't clear the interview, as this reflects badly on the company culture.
