My only experience with the company was a mutual strong no after the rudest phone screen of my life. I was trying to describe how a toy function like the prompt I had just written would be perfect for property checking (a la quickcheck) and the phone screener stopped me partway and berated me for not “getting” unit tests.

yep, somewhat similar experience

my interviewer was 15 minutes late to the call, didn't even know what position i was applying for, didn't ask me at all about the assignment they made me do, then ended my call early because they had to be somewhere. already knew i didn't get the job but didn't even get back to me until a month later.

person still works at uber. pretty high up now. i guess i'm glad i didn't get farther given all that came out afterwards.

i went through a number (again i am refraining to be specific in order to mask my identity) of interviews, let's just say between 2-10 interviews. The rudeness I experienced was 10X worse than your situation, so I really feel for you.
