Interview
I think this was the worst interview experience of my career. I had to do a case study and informed the recruiter ahead of time of a disability. On the day of the interview (video interview) their conference system wasn't working. I was supposed to do a case study but ended up just having a phone call with the hiring manager. He made me do the case study without being able to see any of the information or numbers. I struggled with it in part because I didn't receive the basic accomodations I had asked for, and in part because the person I was interviewing with ended up being a massive jerk. The guy kept telling me to work faster and was very clearly annoyed that I was struggling, which ended up stressing me out and making it even harder to focus. I've never bombed an interview so badly and still walked away glad it didn't work out. That was my first impression with the manager and company and I would never want to work there after that experience. I have also vowed never to shop at Wayfair again either.
Pretty nice person. Asked questions and helped through anything I didn’t understand, though the questions were easy. Technical questions could not have been easier and the behavioral is pretty simple to see through or master

Question 1
How would you handle a superior speaking down to you
standard 3 parts: 1) OA on sql 2) case with cross teams 3) team match with HM. The team match takes longer than expected. HR is slow but when they reach you. They are very transparent and clear.
The interview process started with an initial phone screening with recruiter (included case study questions), then a behavioral interview, followed by a live case study. Overall experience was good, and the difficult was average.
