Difficult Negative United States

My process started off okay, but it quickly turned into something I still haven’t forgotten. Early conversations with the hiring manager felt friendly, and I even met with other SEs along the way. Then the final round shifted to a presentation built from a PDF they shared with me.

I spent hours preparing a clean, detailed PPT, expecting the review to focus on how I’d implement their product. Instead, the tone in the group interview changed drastically; the hiring manager sounded unhappy and condescending, and the rest of the discussion seemed to follow his lead. He expected me to describe implementation details they didn’t give me context for, and it ended with harsh pushback that made it feel like I was being judged unfairly for not knowing a process I’d never been taught.
