Interview
Went fairly smoothly, straightforward questions. They seemed to care more about speed than accuracy. No offer though despite my interviewer telling me all my answers to the technical questions were correct and despite writing the answer in a short period of time.
The overall interview experience can be best described as moderately acceptable. It had its positives and negatives, with room for improvement. While it wasn't exceptional, it also didn't leave a lasting negative impression. Overall, it was a fair experience with potential for better outcomes in the future.
