Recruiter contacts me that they want to phone screen me for a Senior Java Developer role. That was the level of information about the role that was provided. I went onto their website and read up on what they detailed as a Senior Java Developer. I get a meeting invite for a technical phone call scheduled the next afternoon. The call starts 10 minutes late into a 30 minute reserved block, and then immediately starts rattling through low-level programmer questions as if the interviewer was reading from a Stack Overflow thread. I ask follow-up clarifying questions in order to appropriately scope my answers and try to apply some relevant context. My questions are not answered, but rather responded to with dismissal laced with a negative tone to the effect of "stop wasting my time". The role was not for what I would consider a Senior Java Developer role. There were no questions into design, collaboration, testing, engineering trade-offs, or architecture. It was for nothing more than a programmer job. Even though I was completely turned off to the role after 3 minutes, I kept answering these questions for 15 minutes simply because I had agreed to the phone screen. For the last 5 minutes of the call, I was rewarded by the interviewer to receive feedback on how I answered his questions and how I should study and rehearse my answers, and reapply in a few months. There was no need to correct him that they reached out to me. At this point, my 30 minutes with this arrogant, delusional interviewer was finally complete.
