First Interviewer cancelled on me twice. Third time was the charm.
Interviewed me for 20 minutes despite it being a senior role. Did not ask me a thing about my experience at all. Just gave a leetcode-style simulation question which was quite easy. Did not ask follow-ups even though we had time left and I deliberately took pains to keep my code flexible and extendable. Asked me to email him my (correct) answer and hung up within 25 minutes tops. Received rejection on the grounds that "other candidates were better".
Got shunted into a different role by the recruiter. Interviewer again cancelled twice - once on the morning of, and once AFTER I was already in the Zoom and waiting.
Voluntarily dropped out at that point
