Interview
Got the interview through recruitment agency. Some technical questions and live coding were conducted during the interview with one of the engineer.
The interviewer could barely speak English and was unable to hold a normal conversation in English.
Every question was asked in robotic and uninterested manner. When asked about the company, the interviewer just gave a very short yes/no answer.
