It started with a 30 min. phone call with a recruiter. Then, I had a 30 min. video call with the VP of Product Management. After that, they scheduled a 3 hour video interview with five people (product, engineering, and design). The questions were about past experience, handling difficult situations, and agile knowledge. The engineer was rude during the interview. It took almost a month. I got a call from the recruiter saying someone else was a better fit. I asked for feedback but never heard back.

The phone screen was really bad, like one of the worst I've ever had. The interviewer was just reading questions off a list and typing my answers. They seemed unprepared, didn't have my resume, and there was no real conversation about my past experience. I knew right away it wasn't a place I wanted to work, felt like a waste of time.
