Disappointing experience overall. The interviewer seemed heavily uninterested. The first set of calls with recruier was good she explained the role shared the details and scheculed inteviews sooner. First level was fairly easy, the enxt level had some coding related questions but it's the final one which was worse, Not joking. Not Exaggerating. He was completely not inetrested in the interview asked how my last inteviews were and then shared a coding scenario and did not even look at the screen but was eating, yawning and looked uniterested I'm sure that really affected the interview and my potential employment. If you dont want to hire stop interviewing and wasting time and behave professionaly

Classic Seattle tech outfit.
Interview with HR, then C-level players.
Constantly be bombarded with how important "culture" and "fit" are to the company.
Quickly learn - due to direct interaction - that you don't want to be a part of their "culture" or "fit".
Remove yourself from the process after a few weeks.

Question 1
Standard questions. But its the patronizing attitudes that get you.
