Pax8 Senior Software Engineer interview questions

I first had a chat with HR and then some director/higher-up types. That went well and I felt like we gelled. They all gave off an insanely positive impression. Great face to the company. They promised a practical technical interview with the team I'd be working with and that team delivered Leetcode. If you're like me, you prepare differently for a practical interview compared to a Leetcode interview if for no other reason you have bad anxiety. It was a high acceptance medium question--I would have done fine if they'd just been honest from the start, lol. The interviewers obviously didn't want to be there and became hostile when I struggled with the sudden shift from (semi-)practical to Leetcode. To be fair to them, they did give me hints, but between my anxiety, their hostility, and the fact they left me FIFTEEN MINUTES, all I could do was panic. At the end, one of them insulted my character. Bizarre interview indicative of a poor technical culture. If you are good at switching gears, you'll breeze through the tech interview, though. The questions really aren't that hard if you can keep a clamp on your anxiety. I was able to hammer out the last question in ten minutes after I logged off.
