Senior Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - India

Process

Managerial was super awesome; we shared ideas and discussed tech.

Then came the extremely baffling round. The guy asked me to code something. My personal opinion is that I was doing pretty good up until that point, but I got confused in some context-related stuff in Golang while I was writing the code in Notepad. The guy, with a grin, said, and I quote, "You must be using a lot of AI to write code." To which I replied, "I use IntelliSense, and that has made me a little forgetful." He didn't know what IntelliSense is, lol, at which point we got into an argument, and he disconnected.

Thoroughly unprofessional!
