Interview
30 minute call with HR. I interviewed for a Full-Stack Software Engineer position on the OpenData Engineering team in London (remote). Standard HR questions plus a few technical questions, canned rejection email a day later.
I would pause before answering and ask clarifications, for example they asked how I would go about learning things, I mentioned first (having recently finished a masters) about going through a textbook and doing problems in them etc. but interviewer wanted to know about learning from peers in a work context, and me not mentioning doing pair programming etc. until later was marked poorly for. The HR person also is non-technical so e.g. when asked about difference between set and list I started talking about implementation of set being a hashtable etc. but they didn't care to hear that but the instead wanted to know about basic different use cases.

Interview
Applied for a Canadian role. Was interviewed by a US-based recruiter who does not understand Canadian employment law. I hold an open work permit (which requires zero employer sponsorship or cost), but the recruiter explicitly rejected me on the call, stating they 'only hire Citizens or PRs to avoid sponsorship.'

Interview
Applied online, then offered online interview.
The interviewer seemed completely disengaged through the whole process, and never even hinted at a smile once. It was a real shame and a waste of an hour - I should've stopped 15 minutes in to be honest.
Kept asking questions and re-asking the same ones 5 minutes later. Going off and back on camera. His attitude wasn't selling it, and him telling me the company was "overly American and intense" wasn't helping either.
