I got a call from the recruiter after which I was called for a technical interview. I was asked one easy level coding question and they asked me to explain one project and the challenges faced during that

There were some mixed messages on the content of the interviews. I was explicitly told the phone screen would be an algorithmic round (like leetcode), but it was a frontend practical with full on JS/HTML/CSS. The question was not challenging, but I was taken aback. Onsite has 4 rounds total. In terms of technical rounds, I was told the onsite would have two frontend/daily work -style rounds and one leetcode round, but I was actually asked two rounds of leetcode hards and one JS round. The recruiters are friendly (although one of the recruiters told the head recruiter information about me that was just purely wrong for some reason ). The head recruiter is kind and clearly more competent. The technical interviewers were generally amicable. I didn't pass the onsite, and they asked me to schedule a call in order to let me know. I would have preferred an email when it comes to a rejection because scheduling a call just takes more time out of my day.

Question 1
Onsite: - trapping rain water - scrabble board (given board with words on it, dictionary of words, a new word to add, and letter points --> find optimal placement for new word) - no system design, but one round in onsite to talk about work experience where sysdesign might be relevant. In this round, my interviewer was VERY insistent that I describe the challenges in every project we talked about to the point that it was impossible to have a conversation. He was pushing pretty hard and picked apart anything I mentioned with some variation of "But is that even challenging though?" I tried to give him specific examples multiple times, but it was like he was never satisfied...We used the full hour for this round, so I inevitably ran out of "challenges" to describe and felt he was fairly passive aggressive and argumentative. Conceptually, this round is better than straight up asking system design, but in practice was exhausting and will depend on your interviewer's need to conversationally torture you. - "real life question" to emulate a work task w/ classes, functions, constructor; should be pretty easy :)

1. Recruiter phone call (Recruiter reached out even though she was unsure if I'm a right fit) 2. Telephonic interview and the same questions others have mentioned I did well but they still sent a generic rejection email. Huge waste of time. Why are you even interviewing if you don't want to hire people?
