Candidate-reported interview process

it's a skype interview taking about 40 minutes. I passed, so I will have my second round phone interview which will take 1.5 hours. We used Google doc to process the interview.

The first round was a phone call with a Senior Director/VP for a general 'get to know' chat, no tech stuff. Then I had a F2F interview. Rounds 2, 3, and 4 were technical, focusing on textbook Data Structures and Algorithms questions. It felt like they weren't prepared for my interview, and they even admitted they hadn't reviewed my resume. During the 4th round, the same Senior Director/VP interrupted to say they had to leave, which seemed like a rejection signal.

first the engineer called to set up a phone interview, then there were two phone interviews that included a coding test, one lasting 45 minutes and the other 30 minutes. Finally, HR called with the offer.
