1. Recruiter - Fine
2. Online test - Not specific to job, but reasonable for a senior persion considering you were allowed to Google stuff.
3. Hiring manager - Barely paid attention to the conversation. Said that they had to fill the role so they were just trying to get a lot of people through the process. Technical questions were ok.
4. Tech interview - Interviewers were unfriendly. Fairly complex data scenario, which is to say a complete problem with a variety of requirements. Appropriate level of difficulty but really way too much for the 30-40 minutes, and the interviewers INTERRUPTED CONSTANTLY. Why do people say they want to know how you think and then not let you think? Also when I asked questions they shrugged and said they didn't know the answers because they just take orders.
5. Talk with some data scientist, again kind of unfriendly, mostly asked about how you deal with data scientists.
6. Rejected. Although promptly!
Anyway the whole thing was dismissive, impersonal and chaotic and I would not have accepted the job if it had been offered.

Entrevista
The initial interview with the HR hiring manager provided a comprehensive and valuable introduction to the company and its products.
The subsequent technical discussion with the engineering manager included questions focused on experience and soft skills. While the questions appeared to be on a foundation level, the conversation felt confident and led smoothly.
The opportunity was taken to elaborate on past projects and delve into specifics. Certain aspects of the interview suggested the engineering manager might be newer to the role, potentially due to the straightforward nature of the questions.
Despite this, professionalism was maintained, and attempts were made to engage in discussions about the company's projects and technology stack. However, there was a sense that some hesitation might exist regarding a candidate with potentially overqualified skills that could be perceived as a threat.
