Interview
Applied via career fair at school. Got called in for a on campus interview. The person interviewing me didn't care for much about my resume and we jumped right into a whiteboard coding question. He wasn't the friendliest and seemed condescending. Treated me like a senior student even though I was just a freshman, and wanted the most efficient code possible for questions.
