Absolutely Pathetic. The interviwer wanted to showcase how much he knew and kept passing giggles when answers were not what he is expecting. He even raised his voice almost shouting at me suggesting that is this what I am asking.
I do not have any issues with them rejecting if you feel I am not good. The choice is always yours. How you takeup interview tells a lot about you.
I checked on Linkedin that the interviewer had 15 years of experince and yet it looked like he wanted to proove a point to me that he knows much more than I do. He is atleast 3 times more experience in number of years than I am.
Suggestions for the Org: No harm in asking interviewers to be polite. It's an interview not some college Viva exam. Focus on what people know rather than just focusing on what they don't.

Question 1
All the concepts of C#, Angular and SQL that he asked were related to parllelism. Maybe that was the most recent thing interviewer worked on so his entire focus for 1 hours was just that.

Interview
HR interview was terrible. After joining, she jumped right into cookie cutter questions she had written down (slightly technical, unexpected for an HR interview), she never asked about my resume, my "tell me about you", none of that, jumped right into questions like she was in a hurry. After 4-5 generic questions she wrapped it up saying I would hear back by Friday if the hiring manager wanted to pursue (this was on a Wednesday). I did not get any opportunity to ask questions, talk about myself, or even get any information about the company. 30 min scheduled meeting was 15 minutes of cookie cutter questions and an "ok you'll get an email".
Probably the worst experience I've ever had with a company interviewing. Needless to say I did not receive a response until the following Monday afternoon, and while I was actively withdrawing my application, I was not chosen for a follow up interview.
It's unfortunate because I have worked with Q2 professionally, and they seem like nice folks, maybe I caught this person on a bad day or something but it really left a bad taste in my mouth as a really excited potential employee.

Interview
Round 1 was DSA round with easy-medium questions.
Round 2 --> DSA question was on KMP algorithm
Question 2 --> Optimise search api, tries, elastic search discussion etc. Interviewer specifically wanted to hear elastic search as name, I tell everything what elastic search does, but did not name it, Later I realise he wanted to hear the name "Elastic Search"
