Entretien
Technical interview experience was extremely concerning. Successfully completed their LeetCode technical screen with thorough discussion, testing, and 15 minutes remaining on the call. Later received a rejection email with feedback that I “did not complete” the exercise, and that explanations of the algorithm’s inner workings were considered a waste of time. Company's handling of feedback and clarification requests was unprofessional - avoiding direct answers, requiring management escalation and multiple internal discussions, and ultimately providing no clear explanation. Shows serious issues with their interview process and communication.
