Probably

Interviewer showed up a couple minutes late, instructed me to pull down a repo, and install multiple dependencies, which took about 10 more minutes. The challenge itself was to create an end-to-end project which entailed looking up an actors movies based on their name in a react component and powered by a hardcoded Express backend. The README as far as the project instructions was blank aside from npm install examples. I had to jot down the details myself which took up even more time. The catch? I only had 30 minutes to do it minus the time already taken to set things up. I’ve never had that little bit of time to do ANY live coding challenge. At this point I was all but ready to leave the call. Not out of anxiety but more so insult. To make matters worse, the interviewer on top of being late was just bored and uninterested. When time was up he was just like, “Yeah, it looks like we’re out of time and I gotta go ✌️”. I’ve had bad interview experiences but this one might have taken the cake. While it wasn’t the hardest thing in the world to do, it left zero room for error or time to at least think things through.
