I recently interviewed with Alphanet after being contacted by a recruiter. The recruiter was very professional and clearly explained the interview process, the team, and the overall expectations. In the next stage, I was informed that an interviewer from India would be conducting the technical round.
I prefer not to disclose the interviewer's name, but I do want to share that the experience during this round was disappointing. The problem presented was fairly common, involving questions about the internal workings of a HashMap and how collisions are handled. However, the interviewer did not allow me to fully express my thoughts. Whenever I attempted to reason through collision handling, explaining why it could not be O(n), for example, he repeatedly cut me off and laughed in a way that implied I lacked knowledge.
Toward the end, he abruptly stated that he needed to join another call and ended the interview without any courtesy or closing remarks. Overall, the interaction felt disrespectful and unprofessional, leaving me with a very negative impression of the process.
