The recruiter was friendly and described the entire interview process, but they weren't able to answer my questions about the team and role - only some general things - and directed me to the hiring manager.
The coding questions were easy and didn’t even require LeetCode practice.
However, the behavioral interview was quite strange. They asked random questions without paying much attention to the candidate. When I asked my questions, the hiring manager replied that they didn’t know much and were there just to ask questions. It seemed that none of them knew why the position was opened - it felt like it was just to meet some statistics.
