The first pair programming interview was chill. The interviewer was helpful.
The second interview was the Growth Path interview. It could not have gone worse. The interviewer was ten minutes late and then had an attitude when they joined. They asked if I had read the documents about the company beforehand, which I had. They said it was supposed to be like a conversation, so anytime I would ask a question back, they just referred me to the documents. They kept interrupting whenever I would try to say something and basically cast doubt on what I was saying. Essentially, it just felt like they had already filled the position and the interviewer was trying to find reasons not to move me forward.
It is definitely a cult, though, and you will realize that very soon if you read the docs.
