# Fivetran: Two Hard Problems in 25 Minutes, Then a Rejection for Being 'Too Expressive.'

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Senior software engineer · via LeetCode Discuss

Four rounds at Fivetran, per a senior software engineer on LeetCode: optimize a program, then a 75-minute round where he solved two Hard problems in under 25 minutes (the interviewer said he was 'very impressed'), then a system-design round with an irritated, interrupting manager. After the debrief, HR said no - because he was 'too expressive.' He concluded the loop was a ghost interview and advised others to skip the company.
