They have started face to face interview when all other companies take interview virtually on zoom/Teams call at least the first round. Interviewer reached over 10 mins late. No apologies. None of the questions were technical. Interview wrapped up in less than 15 mins. Seems interviewer already made up their mind not to continue even before the start of interview. No feedback, no formal communication from HR.
