Smartsheet Senior Software Engineer interview questions

This felt like an interrogation Most of the folks I talked to were fine, and the director I spoke to during the screen was incredibly sweet and collaborative. But there was a senior developer who gave me one of the worst interview experiences I've ever had. He asked what rails version my past rails apps ran. I told him I couldn't tell him, especially because we dealt with dockerized microservices and I'm more of a business value focused prototyper than a long term maintainer. I immediately saw fury in his eyes and he spent the next hour asking me rails trivia ("which background scheduling options exist in rails?") that only test your current knowledge and not your ability as a developer to learn and grow. He asked me a problem about systems design which I answered, and due to my experience knew the pitfalls and gotchas for. When I finished he shrugged and said "Oh not bad, that's a really elegant solution." "But I still don't understand how you don't know the rails versions of your apps." I've never felt like like folks threw my entire years of experience out for a number before now. I told Smartsheet after telling them I was no longer interested and the recruiter asked me to call and chat and apologized for the trouble, so there's that. I also admitted to another interviewer I had been given his problem two days ago and learned the optimal solution and he told me to solve it anyways. Do they not believe my resume? Or do they not mind folks who have memorized answers and undervalue growth? But the fact that a guy like this is interviewing and is a very senior developer makes me wonder, does Smartsheet value thought diversity?

They like to bring candidates in for the tech screen, rather than do it over the phone. I was told I had the option of bringing my laptop to the interview, which I welcomed, as I hate coding on whiteboards. When I mentioned this to the interviewer, they said they would have to figure out how to connect it. So much for that. He started the question off on the whiteboard and it was fairly involved, so it was a curve ball I wasn't expecting.
