Hiring manager was a no-show and when I emailed asking if the interview was still on I didn't receive a response which should have signaled right then either a lack of interest or simple courtesy at a minimum to shoot a one-liner response. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and proceed. I then had a round where the interviewer basically talked at me the entire 45 minutes. I then didn't hear back from them at all which I kind of expected. Definitely ranks as the wonkiest interview process I've ever had at any company ever.

Recruiter reached out via email. Had good conversation on the phone. 30 minute conversation with hiring manager. Not too technical, but moved onto a round of technical interviews, consisting of system design and architectural questions. Overall all of the interviewers were pleasant, respectful, and answered all of my questions. Ultimately, I was not selected, however I was pleasantly surprised that the recruiter called me personally to tell me that they selected another candidate instead of me. Getting rejected for a job doesn't have to be an unpleasant experience, and I really appreciated the fact that I was told personally after I made it to the final interview.
