Interview
Received a call from HR and scheduled an interview. On the interview day, I was entered into a room and had to do a java task for two hours. After that, I was told to wait until my code will be reviewed.
After an hour waiting finally, HR came to me to say that I didn't pass and I can go home.
It's a shame I couldn't talk to a manager about my test and understand my mistakes or talk about my design instead of just waiting for an hour. It was a waste of time and a bad treatment for newcomers.
