Candidate-reported interview process

it was three rounds total, first was an initial screen, then i interviewed with the team i was matched to, and the final round was mostly technicals with the team i was matched to

Had a couple of questions, some were behavioral and some were about market sense. No technical questions were asked. The interviewer seemed uninterested and quickly moved to the next question. Some questions were unexpected.

I had a recruiter phone screen, then a phone interview, followed by two in-person interviews, each lasting 4 hours, at the Greenwich office. The interviews covered technical topics and more casual personal questions. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any feedback after completing all the stages.
