The whole process started out great. They did the cultural stuff before the technical which I am always a big fan of and I got to chat at great length with a number of really smart folks that seemed to have their heads on straight. After that, things went south quick. The recruiter seemed to go on vacation every two days so the cadence of communication was beyond painful. Once we finally got the technical portion scheduled I was a bit surprised to find it being led exclusively by two very junior team members. They presented me with an old ticket from one of their internal tool repos and I immediately had questions regarding the terminology being used within the ticket as I had no familiarity with the tool. The junior cadets weren't able to answer any of these questions as they had never worked on the repo in question, either. This would become a running theme over the next two hours as they truly had no idea what was going on. It's likely that I could have figured it all out for myself if the screen sharing app they had chosen to use --Tuple--was actually capable of implementing screen sharing in any usable fashion. Since it isn't, I mostly sat there staring at a tiny, blurry, rainbow macroblocked disaster which I could not read at all. Try to scroll something and you sit there and wait 30 seconds for Tuple to catch up. By the time it does, it's scrolled way past wherever you wanted to go and you have no idea where you are anymore. At least a dozen times it actually moved and/or closed the window entirely and I had no idea what was going on. I tried to supplement my woefully incomplete understanding of the code in front of me by asking questions but the two juniors just sat there like deer in headlights, reminding me that they didn't know anything about this code either. It was the most utterly ridiculous experience you could possibly imagine and I sincerely regret not simply ending it after the first hour of zero progress. As soon as I saw that they were using Material Design everywhere I completely lost interest and was just trying to be polite and hoping that Tuple's performance might magically improve.
