Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

Had a call with a recruiter, followed by a tech screen. It was a poor mismatch with the technical interviewer. He asked a LeetCode hard dynamic programming problem in a phone screen, which makes no sense at this stage and in the setting without having a proper whiteboard.

Details were left out intentionally, which makes sense, but the interviewer would only jump in with gotcha details and not clarify when I asked for further details. Overall, it was a frustrating experience. I don't plan on trying again because of the conversation and how things are run within the company.
