Very disappointing interview experience. After clearing the initial technical round, I met with a co-founder for the second round. During the conversation, my prior experience was repeatedly questioned and dismissed. When I explained my background and skill set, I was unexpectedly given a FAANG-level hard SQL problem to solve on the spot. The coding environment had database-specific defaults that were not clearly communicated. When issues arose because of environment-specific syntax differences, no clarification or guidance was provided despite the session being actively observed. This made the exercise feel more like a gotcha test than a genuine assessment of technical ability. The overall interaction felt dismissive, adversarial, and unnecessarily discouraging. Rather than evaluating a candidate fairly, the process gave the impression that the goal was to find reasons to reject candidates. I left feeling that my time had been wasted and would not recommend the interview experience.
