Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process started with an HR call, followed by two technical rounds. The final two rounds were with the Hiring Manager in the US. The HR person was really rude and acted like I should already know everything about the process and salary negotiations, which is their job to explain.

There were two interviews - one for System Design and another with the hiring manager. The hiring manager asked a lot of questions about my past experience and also some behavioral questions. The scheduling process was kind of a mess - they re-scheduled it many times and sometimes it was really close to the scheduled start time.

Started with a recruiter call, then had two technical interviews, and finally a behavioral round with the manager. The second technical interview felt a bit off, with an algorithm question that seemed more like a trick.
