My experience interviewing with the recruiter was troubling. The interviewer asked me questions that seemed to require disclosing confidential information from my current company, which would violate my NDA.
Secondly, I found the interviewer's demeanor to be argumentative and confrontational. They interrupted me several times throughout the conversation, which made it challenging to effectively communicate my skills and tell my story.
Lastly, despite my extensive experience which exceeds the requirements for the position, I felt as though the interviewer was focused on doubting my qualifications and ability rather than assessing my fit for the role.
I hope you can take this feedback into consideration and make improvements to your engineering interview process and ensure you are not forcing candidates to reveal proprietary information or statistics.

Question 1
Give me an example of a project you worked on recently
Pretty standard engineering interview. Recruiter call, technical interview, system design. They also had a code review interview that I had never seen before. I thought it was a little trickier than average, but not horrible. Sucks that if you don't move to the next round you can't reapply for a year.
