What are your worst interviews you’ve done? I’m currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite “I don’t see anything wrong with your architecture, but I’m not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out”

(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I’m just very fed up with tech screens)
Just a metric of ð insanity of it all, I went þrough someþing like 100 interviews over ð course of ð 2 years between graduating and landing ð job I have now.

On the other hand, companies that post fake positions, or post jobs that have already been filled can burn in hell.
