Interview
Stupid interview proceess. Why? Read on..Recruiter reveals all the the questions that a scheduled interviewer may ask on phone screen. Highly unprofessional. Then the recruiter is so unprofessional that now that you get rejected he never responds back. Oh sorry I meant to say he scheduled the call but never calls and then reschedules the call and never called. When asked, he said I called and left a voicemail but you never responded. I never got a voicemail, never received a call at all. I was actually waiting for it. Pathetic and unprofessional. I want my time back.

Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
