      A lot of the time it’s just an ego trip for the interviewer to show off how clever they are and to gloat over the interviewee when they can’t figure out some really hard problem. This actually fits perfectly with the company having a toxic working environment. When you see these kinds of questions in interviews it’s usually an indication that these aren’t the kinds of people you’d want to be working with.

    The main thing I hate about inflated expectations in job postings and interviews is I keep expecting to do interesting and challenging work. And the jobs keep being like “make a powerpoint and summarize your results to someone that does not know what a number is”.
