Applied online, I was emailed by William and asked to do a 4-hour challenge. I asked to do an interview instead stating that I had already done projects in a larger scale in the past and pointed him towards the repos. He checked them and said that there wasn't a live version for him to see the result. I told him that they were in fact live and pointed him towards the live URLs. He told me that I would have to do the challenge anyway. As the challenge was going to be a couple hours long I asked him if he'd be ok with paying me for my time. He told me no and that he was no longer interested.

I applied to NextGenVest via Angellist and Will got back to me pretty fast with a timed coding challenge. I finished and submitted it and was invited to an onsite. The onsite was okay, Will was friendly and the other team members I met were alright. He asked about some of my personal projects and then told me to whiteboard a BST search algorithm. There was an apparent change in the interview's vibe after seeing I was struggling with the whiteboard process, Will tone became a bit more impatient and condescending.
