lol no, I got into a big argument having to explain recursion, tail call recursion, etc.
The dude asked me a leetcode hard (that I hadn't seen before!) that I was actually able to code up, and he didn't understand that memoization and bottom up dp are equivalent with the exception of stack space.
But at that point I was so annoyed in general at the experience.
My recruiter quit the day I had an interview, my first interview rescheduled the time and no one told me, etc.
It was a fucking joke.
Also, I interviewed at Netflix as well, and I didn't get the job (passed technical interview but didn't get selected after Director level interview. Just wasn't a good fit in terms of interests) and I can't say enough good things about netflix, everyone I met there, and the overall interview process.
So I'm not just annoyed at Azure folks because I didn't get the job. I'm annoyed cause they're mostly morons.
I was outright hostile by the end. My point was, in my very long history in tech, it was only Microsoft that pushed me to that point. I’ve bombed hard interviews, passed easy ones, bumbled medium ones, and never once lost my cool.
