Interview
HR reached me for a chat, then had an assignment followed by a technical interview and then final interview with the CTO.
After spending a quite some time and effort with the process, I was told that everything was going superb until things changed at the last interview with the rude CTO who seemed like he had already made up his mind about me before the interview.

Since I'm getting fed up with every single company out there giving me (trying to, at least) their own "take-home assessment" I flat-out refused to do such a thing. The initial interview was very positive, the 2nd interview with a technical person was, too. We did a pair-programming (in lieu of the take-home test) exercise that allowed me to learn about how they think and work and allowed them to see how I think and work. If you ask me, this is infinitely better than a "2-hour" take-home test that always ends up being 8+ hours if you want to do it right.
Further calls with people higher up the chain of command were all positive as well. They seem like a driven bunch of people who get things done and don't beat around the bush. I like that.
Communication is direct, easy, fast, and efficient. My start date is in a few months (per my own request, to finish up some freelance work) and that was absolutely fine. I can't wait to get started!

Question 1
There were a bunch of standard questions like "what is the biggest professional mistake you ever made" and other such things.
