I just had a phone screen interview for one of the top companies. Asked a leetcode hard question to solve within 30 mins. The interviewer did not even bother to introduce himself and asked for my introduction and went straight to the coding question. He did not even say a single word while I was coding + explaining. Shittiest interview i've ever had. Just had to rant somewhere here..
Some interviewers can be real d*cks. Nothing surprising.
What was the question?

Did you at least solve the regular maze way? I have seen the solution before so I have fair idea how to solve it. But I can totally see how it can stump people who haven't solved it in the past.
Why do you need an introduction from the interviewer? They stopped doing that at many companies to give you more time.
Saying a single sentence to tell your name + what you do at your company does not waste any time. He was very unprofessional regardless of that.
He's either a SWE or SDM. What product he works on is irrelevant to the interview. I'd probably not even ask the applicants intro if it was Facebook with their intense 2 Qs in 45 mins. Google is less intense but the interviewers are much worse. I think they get training to be impersonal af whereas most fb interviewers seemed friendly
It’s ok to say the name of the company we won’t tell.
I recently got asked a LC hard to solve in 15-20 min
What’s the company name so that we can avoid them
The problem is tagged Google
Yep when we encourage code monkey behaviors we are losing human behaviors. In the future it will be a robot interviewing us and there wouldn’t be any difference to the employer
