Interview
After passing the initial coding test I was given a phone coding interview where the interviewer would watch me code while on a dedicated website. The test itself wasn’t bad but the interviewer kept leaving, I could hear his chair roll away and then when I asked a question he would come back and sound like he didn’t want to answer any of my questions.
