They started with asking me to describe my resume, all the project thoroughly with a bit of cross-questioning in between. After that they started asking questions from the theory of Python and SQL (advanced theory from both). Then they moved on to coding tasks which involved Python codes related to basics, advanced SQL and then DSA to end it.

1 step assessment in which python and sql based questions are asked, 2 step tech in which your experience is properly evaluated and 1 hr round in which salary negotiations and culture is discussed

First call with the recruiter went well, along with the call with his manager. Both the recruiter and the manager were professional and super helpful. That's where the pros ended. I was asked to join a video call for the next round and the following ensued: 1) The Director I was supposed to speak with, was struggling with getting the Zoom meeting to work. We had to reschedule several times using multiple different links to finally meet. This alone is fine as technical difficulties happen but combined with the rest of my experience... shows a true lack of professionalism. 2) Asking obscure questions that have the correct ring words from the job description but do not make any sense given the context and the information given. 3) Accusing the candidate of being a 'Ringer' (had to look up what this word meant) for another candidate due to there being slight haptic lag due to Zoom latency issues. 4) Accusing the candidate of not really having real experience without getting into the weed-works or providing any meaningful insight. ("I have been in the industry myself for over 10 years and you can't believe the number of liars I've encountered") 5) A general "I am better than thou" attitude. Maybe they receive a lot of desperate candidates and think that they can get away with this unprofessional behavior but I sensed racist/discriminatory vibes at times.
