Process

The interview began with a casual chat with the tech lead to get to know my personality. This was followed by lunch and then three rounds of technical questions.

The questions were of average difficulty, not overly complicated. However, one of the interviewers was problematic. When I was asked a question about arrays, I explained that in C++, arrays have a fixed allocated length and cannot grow automatically. I used JavaScript for my example, where the language handles length issues automatically. I didn't understand why an array would have a limited length.

At this point, the interviewer became agitated and threw things on the ground. I was concerned and prepared to call 911 in case of any further issues.
