Candidate-reported interview process

Got selected from my CV and applications letter. Then had a 1x60 min interview where they asked what I wanted to learn after being selected. My questions were about my ambitions and why I found the space interesting.

the interview experience was super weird as the team lead started putting a lot of pressure, and started the convo with "why axel springer?" even without a small talk. I didn't feel comfortable

It was a two part interview process. The first part was a conversation where they asked me STAR questions and hypotheticals. For the second part, I had to prepare a presentation. I didn't get the job, and when I asked for feedback, they didn't give me any.
