Interview
Received an email stating that they would like to schedule a technical phone interview with me. I assumed this would include discussing qualifications over the phone as well as answering questions related to the job posting...over the phone. Instead the gentleman had me write code in a codeshare link. It was not an interview. It was leetcode with someone watching. He was only there on the phone to tell me where he sent the link. I personally feel like I was misinformed on the nature of the interview and what to expect.
