Engineers there are full of themselves and not open to acknowledging their mistakes.
All was going well with leetcode medium-ish questions, until the last one. I gave a solution and the interviewer said it was no good. So i spent several minutes trying to solve it but with no success. After some time passed, the interviewer explained the solution. Thing is, my solution was essentially the same as his solution. When I brought it up to him he initially brushed it off but as I insisted that my answer is the same as his, he began to catch on. Now he's trying to point out errors or inefficiencies with my code, when in fact my code is more efficient than his answer. By the end of that interview, they led me out so I knew I didn't get it and I would argue that the last interviewer is single-handedly the reason why I didn't get the job. And even when I explained my solution to him, he dismissed it because he originally said it was incorrect and had too much pride to admit he was wrong.
If it wasn't for the fact that I already had a better offer, I'd be SUPER pissed. But also, I don't think I would want to work somewhere that engineers refuse to admit their own mistakes. Stay away, or hope that you don't get unlucky like I did.

BST questions, stack questions, surprisingly no DP
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.

Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
