I was asked a LC medium that I have seen before, gave my approach, and then the interviewer asked me "what is your approach" then I gave it again. During the interview he was not helping, I was talking through it, asking him questions... when I asked questions he would ask 3 minutes later "did you ask a question" and then when I got stuck I ran through line by line and debugged, 5 minutes later he asks "lets run through the code line by line" like c'mon man.... he seemed to be writing stuff down and alt tabbing constantly...

Is this normal? This is my first faang interview.

    Sounds like he wasn’t paying attention. I’ve been seeing that a lot lately and usually it doesn’t pan out because they aren’t interested in the interview in the first place so why would they care enough to give you a good review.

    Unlikely to be your fault dude/dudes, just keep trucking no matter the outcome

      You can communicate this with your recruiter, depending on how interested they are they can probably reschedule another one

      The problem is that there is no recruiter that I have spoken to for this role. This has been the process... get OA -> pass -> onsite -> 3rd party person sets up the interview... if there is a microsoft recruiter or someone to talk to, I wouldn't know
