Interview
Interviewer was late for the call then seemed to ask a lot of leading questions that were based on assumptions about my background instead of asking neutral questions. Since the interviewer was late the whole call was rushed, and was going off topic of things that didn’t relate to the role or the purpose of the call. I didn’t mind I didn’t get the job but the way the screening was held felt unethical.
Phone interview with a recruiter who asked pretty standard interview questions followed by an hour-ish-long interview with my department. Most of it was me asking questions which they answered very thoroughly and personably

Interview
Easy conversation interview, had no Hr screening just an hour long interview with the hiring manager. Emailed to schedule before the interview. Only one other person on the call, so it was not bad
