I have read a lot of reviews, and most of the people seem to have a positive experience, so maybe I just got unlucky. It was so bad that it was funny. First, the interviewer was late, then he asked me a single question about what current projects am I working on, after I gave him a pretty lengthy answer, without any follow-up questions or anything else he said: "anyway let's move on to the coding part". Then we went onto hacker rank and he gave me a problem, I asked him if I can do it in Python, and he said "sure" and then tried switching the language on the page from C++ to Python, in the span of ten minutes he could not figure out how to do that, so I said it's okay I can solve it in C++, he then told me no and told me to solve the problem in Python using the C++ IDE. So with a lot of time lost I started to attempt to solve it in Python where everything I was typing was getting autocorrected into the C++ grammar. I was talking to him about my thoughts and how to solve the problem but he completely muted his mic, wasn't listening, and was talking to someone else. When I asked him questions he would not reply. I struggled for about 30 minutes and then he told me that the interview is over and I should have solved it in C++ and not Python. I was literally crying from laughter. I think I just got very unlucky.

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.
