I interviewed with Cameo and they had me to a pair coding session where I had to demonstrate how to build express.js functionality… without actually using express.js.
Those who were interviewing me were clearly more junior than I but acted like they were superior because they knew the test. After 10 minutes into the 60 minute pairing session I knew I wasn’t going to pass the test and that this would not be the right culture for me.
I immediately emailed the recruiter to withdraw my application after the meeting and never looked back. A month later, I would take a promotion internally which went in a different direction than individual contributor.
