1st interview was technical. Was scheduled to be 30 mins but the interviewer told me that it was actually supposed to be 1 hr long. I agreed and we spoke for ~20 mins before getting to the programming question. I started to solve the question but then the interviewer proceeded to cut me off at the ~30min mark since they didn't have anyone to fill in for the other half.
