Google. I literally lost my voice and could barely understand the Chinese interviewer's accent. All my interviewers that day had an accent. Little did I know I had COVID. I failed the interview and had to take some time off to recover emotionally because it was a difficult interview.

Also failed at Amazon because they brought me for an interview and it started 9am and ended at 5pm. I was too tired and they kept trying to make simple question harder by adding constraints. I gave up because it wasn't worth it.

Do yourself a favor, if you don't like the interview and interviewer just leave in the middle of the interview. It's not worth the emotional and mental cost. Also there is a good chance you don't like the company and the company culture if the interview is not going accordingly.
