How it went

The candidate was evaluated on communication and problem-solving skills during the interview process. While they successfully solved all technical questions and felt their communication was strong, they were ultimately rejected. The candidate found the interviewer unhelpful and disruptive, citing instances where the interviewer provided minimal guidance, ran code prematurely, and made unannounced changes to the candidate's solution, hindering their ability to debug and complete the tasks effectively.
