why they were rude? Generally, when you have an interview with a candidate, you would show your happy face, NOT "I DONT LIKE YOU AND I AM ANGRY" face. During my second technical interview, he participated in the meeting with 5 minutes delay, without say "I am sorry" ! and he just said :
hi. lets start the interview ... with a very serious and angry face and he asked me what is the Object Oriented Programming ? you are asking this question from a person with 10 years of experiences ???
and he asked me about some strange time complexity problems which remains me about university exams.
Then he asked me what is ACID ???
you could answer all the questions from wikipedia !!
And the sad part is , during the entire interview process, no one asked me , even a single question about my work experiences !!
After this step, during the third codding challenge interviewerguy told me, here is the question (which was a very difficult question ) and while you are doing it, I will do my own work! When you finish, let me know!
And he started to concentrating on his laptop !! no interaction, no help, no conversation !!
before taking apart in the interview, I had read here on glassdor that everything is based on luck, when you have an interview on Zalando! and I wanted to say, its 100 % true.
Other than that difficult question which generally FAANG companies ask, their behavior was totally rude.
