Entrevista
First round video interview with two developers, I couldn’t understand the accent of the main interviewer (strong European accent) as I’m also a non native English speaker. So I had to ask him to repeat the question sometimes, he was laughing because of that, which makes me feel very bad. They asked some very language specific questions, and then moved on to ask me to write code to solve a problem. I never heard anything back from them after the interview. One of the worst interviews I’ve ever had.

Interviewer late. Wouldn't proceed with interview without a camera on; cited cheating on an online test being an issue. It's a great way to kill any kind of trust dynamic within the first couple minutes - massive red flag for me and very indicative of company culture.

I was contacted by agency to join groupon as a contractor. I did first round of interview with a coding task leetcode easy and some SQL query. I was asked for a second round and after scheduled the date they just cancelled with the explanation they already found the java developer. Very unprofessional and not respectful of people time.
