I recently interviewed for a technical role, and the experience did not quite live up to my expectations. The main issue started with communication. It was a bit tough to understand the interviewer clearly, so I found myself asking him to repeat his questions multiple times throughout our conversation. The coding round also felt a bit rushed. I was given two problems and had only 10 minutes for each, which made it hard to reach the required optimal O(n) solutions. For the first problem, a new condition was added after I had already finished my logic. Since the company values the overall approach, this sudden change and the tight clock felt a bit unreasonable. Lastly, the interviewer seemed a bit distracted while I was working. He checked his phone a few times and even stepped out of the room while I was coding. It would have been a lot more encouraging to see a bit more engagement during the session.
