I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Block
Interview
Talked to recruiter to set up pair programming on coderpad. Coding Question wasn’t grueling but interviewer didn’t really “help” but instead directed condescending statements that dampened confidence. I think the experience would have been better if interviewer wasn’t saying “uh huh” and at least pretending to be involved in the process. Never heard back from the recruiter or anyone else after that. Question was of medium difficulty on leetcode.
