I felt like a number in line at the grocery stone. I don't feel like they really cared about my time. Weird and excessive gifs, smileys and friendly tones in their emails just gave me a shady vibe. I should have known that when a job description calls their company "family", it's an immediate red flag.

They sent an absurd email with smiley faces and giphs galore to multiple applicants at once, using bcc, and asking everyone to sign up for a 3 hour time slot. The email said that they would text you at some point during this 3 hour time frame to join the zoom call for a 20 minute interview. Meaning that they expected people to wait around for 3 hours to be called into an interview, rather than just scheduling interviews for assigned time slots.
