The interviewers were very warm. It was a good experience. I was only able to get through 2 stages out of 7 stages, but it wasn't a bad experience overall

HR introductory interview which only had 1 question, aside from asking to introduce myself. She mentioned that there were many applicants, and it seemed like this round is for further filtering out of candidates, or just the need to hit a quota on the people interviewed. Seems like this round wasn't needed at all.. I do not see how she could effectively choose the right candidates with just 1 question. Feels like a waste of time after having been asked to prepare so much on the company, product and values when there were no questions regarding that.
