Tinder Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Got an interview via a referral. Had an interview with a coding problem. Coding problem was for a specific case of two integers in input, but he also wanted to discuss a generic case. After completion of coding problem, interviewer mentioned "yeah, most people use the brute force method". You will hear from recruiter in a week.

2 phonescreens, 1 onsite, 1 informational call The recruiter was good and explained in great detail about the position and answered questions satisfactorily. The first phonescreen was good and the interviewer was very welcoming and helpful. It was an algorithmic question and coding on collabedit. The second phonescreen was worse. The interviewer asked me about my background and i told him my experience which was 2 years. Told him about the projects and he asked counter questions on it. then came the coding question. He asked me about pagination in java. I gave him the answer, but that was not the answer that we had in his mind and constantly interrupted me when i was answering. He did not try to understand what i was saying and constantly changed the question so that the answer i gave was incorrect. I implemented the method definition for pagination and he did not like that. At one time i felt ridiculed and also felt that he did not want me to succeed. I emailed the recruiter the very next moment and withdrew my application after stating what happened.
