The interview process is very subjective.
I don't think your technical background or experience matters.
For a tech company, trusting HR to filter out good candidates based on a "life story" or a "talk" about your previous experiences is not smart.

I never had any technical questions or any discussion related to the job at hand.
They won't have a clue about your resume when they talk to you. Why? "To make it more organic."
Give me a break.
What is your life story?
