Entrevista
the interviewer was pretty strict. he told me we'll have 2 tasks each task should take 15 minutes then he asked me share my whole screen, and asked me to close all apps in the top bar. after doing so he presented me with the task description which was about amicable numbers. i couldn't fully understand the task description and he didn't try to give me any hints or even explain the task then he proceeded with starting the time for the task i tried to implement it but i didn't really understand what i should do tried to ask him again if he can explain it and he didn't help. once the time was over he told me we're not going to continue the process because i started implementing without understanding the task. then he explained the task to me which i gave him the right answer but it was too late.

The interview process has been structured and professional so far. It started with the initial application and screening, followed by an online coding assessment with algorithm-style questions focused on correctness, edge cases, and problem solving under time pressure. After completing that stage, I was invited to schedule a live technical interview. Communication has been clear, with detailed instructions about the interview format, environment requirements, screen sharing, and expectations around working without external assistance. The process feels rigorous and time-sensitive,.
