Interview
The interviewer was looking for a full-stack developer, but they shortlisted me despite my experience being only in frontend development. He asked some questions about backend, then abruptly said they were looking for someone with both frontend and backend experience, and ended the call. If that was the requirement, they shouldn't have shortlisted me for the interview in the first place. Overall a very unprofessional experience
