A bit weird, and unusual. The process here definitely leaves something to be desired, although discrimination in the process definitely makes it even worse. I interviewed for a position that writes code, but that wasn't part of the process. The phone interview seemed to go well enough. The in person interview was something else entirely. They never put me in a room with coders, which I thought was weird. I interviewed with several levels of management that day, as well. Usually that's a sign that, as long as you don't set the interviewers on fire, you can probably expect an offer. Instead, they turned me down, and rejected me for a made up reason [it was related to me not having a skill set that 1. I have, and 2. they never asked about], which gives off a real ... discrimination-y vibe. [The thing I would potentially be discriminated against over is very visible]

The recruiters were great. However, in my opinion, the tech screeners lost all interest once they saw that I am over 40. Additionally, the tech screening case was sent to me 20 minutes before the interview. To be fair, they might have been trying to gauge how well I can think on my toes, but I found that to be unusual.
