Agoda interview questions

The initial process was super fast - I was contacted by an internal recruiter, who connected me to another recruiter to assess the role that would best suit me, and finally, we agreed on a time for the initial technical interview with one of their development managers. From the way the recruiters organised everything, it seemed like they have a great process for internal communication. Tech interview with one of their development manager: The interviewer arrived minutes later than the calendar time, but that's fine since he said he had to move between rooms. Here's where things started getting weird. He was least interested in getting to understand the other person or his previous career path/accomplishments, and there was zero intro on Agoda. He bragged a bit about his previous experiences, sent out a code pairing link and headed straight to solving "Array Problems" and time complexity of different sorting algorithms. His focus was consistently on improving the time complexity and showing off how efficiently he can code. This didn't sound positive to me given that they are interviewing someone with several years of experience and not a fresher, and the questions were not practical or real-world problems they are trying to solve or design patters. I wasn't then really interested to continue further since he was pretty rude in a couple of scenarios during the interview and I wouldn't want to work with such a person.

Went through two online test: the first one is Agoda talent pitch that includes case study, logical test and personality test. The second one is essay writing. Based on what I have applied, I need to write one English version and one Chinese version with two different topics. After that, I got a phone call interview. Just those basic interview questions. Then I received an email mentioned that my application had been on hold due to sufficient headcount, I will be invited to the interview when there is any vacancy in the future. I don't know it that true but I considered is as failed.
