They were quick to schedule an interview. The recruiter implied it would be about LLMs/transformers, but the interview was about a completely unrelated topic (max flow). I was given an empty coderpad environment and a vague description of the problem. I understand the need to test if a candidate would ask clarifying questions, but it doesn't make sense to tell a candidate that those details do not matter and then get visibly upset at them for asking. Would not recommend.
