that's a stupid way to interview. is that a US thing or do they do it all around the world? I've never seen it around my group, but it definitely doesn't reflect real job tasks, where you can google, pause, have coffee and ice cream breaks. what kind of job gives you seconds to finish tasks like an Amazon packaging line?
