The interview with the recruiter went quite well. The interview with the hiring manager was an outlier. They did a good job of showing me the product and explaining what the company did. The unexpected part was when it came to answering my questions. The responses were very short, almost curt. Here is an example: Q: What is the vision for this team? A: More integrations and scalability. That was it, absolutely no context around that response. This led to a weird situation where I ended up asking a series of questions which had really short responses. It is possible that the HM lost interest in me midway through the interview because I'm quite sure that they also responded to slack during it. I got a reject about 30 minutes after the interview and did not get any feedback even though I requested the recruiter for it.

Recruiter screen, followed by some remote discussions with various teams. Once I got past that stage, then in person piece with a technical interview followed by more fit/bar raiser style interviews.
