I never posted an interview experience before but as I continue to search for my next job I started to feel that I should also contribute because I have benefitted from Glassdoor reviews as well. So here it is, I just had my technical phone screen at DocuSign. It was not a good experience at all. The problem was related to string manipulation, not a typical leetcode problem but not hard as well. I asked clarifying question as what the parameters are. Before even starting the solution interviewer asked to think bigger where it can be used. Totally understandable, So i gave him examples maybe not the ones he was looking for. After that he started to talk in a degrading way, like you don't know this and you are applying for a lead role. Then he asked what the specs of the function will look like, again totally valid question. I told him the specs but he kept talking that I am not understanding and why have I applied for lead role. After sometime, he told the same specs as what I mentioned earlier. Maybe I was not able to communicate to him better but that still doesn't give him the right to bring down my confidence. Aren't interviewers suppose to work with you. I have been on the other side of the table as well multiple times, never in my mind I thought to show the interviewee that I am superior to them which I felt that the interviewer was trying to do in my case. Anyway, After that I politely told him that I don't think the interview is going in the direction either one of us wants it to and don't wanna waste his or my time and ended the interview early.

Weird interview experience. First recruiter call, then had the phone screen scheduled. They asked only 1 question for which I gave a working solution and even ended the interview 20 minutes early. Interviewers themselves seemed confused about the problem statement. Then got a response that feedback was not positive. Not sure if their job listings are real or fake.
