multistage interview beginning with the team lead. That interview was interesting and went well, but felt a little gimmicky with many questions related to hypothetical scenarios regarding non-existant uber products and services. Second stage interview was described as a cooperative jam session. I was asked to research questions related to a prompt and build a presentation. On the day of the interview, the team lead and one other member were part of the session. Aside from being consistently derailed by more hypothetical scenarios (most of which were unrelated to the provided prompt), the new team member did not give their full attention to the process and would ask questions about the prompt that were previously answered. The interviewing team seemed to insist on a specific solution to the prompt which the research suggested was not an optimal solution and to which I provided alternatives. This still was not enough and the interviewing team continued asking for other ways to make this hypothetical scenario work (this lasted maybe 30 minutes). Due to these interruptions and derailing, we were unable to go through the requested research and prompt exercise in the interview. Ultimately I did not move forward in the process with the stated reason being that requested research and prompt exercise were not completed (they were in the presentation, but the interviewing team wanted to focus on other hypothetical questions instead).
