It was an initial phone screening. Compared to other phone screenings, the recruiter had a neutral, unfriendly tone of voice and didn't seem to smile or make small talk it was just reading a standard script and asking the usual questions. It made me uncomfortable and left me with the feeling of having failed the interview despite the fact I met most of the job requirements. There were also some awkward silences after I had clearly finished speaking and it wasn't clear if she was listening or typing or waiting for me to give more detail. I can only assume this attitude is a reflection of the company and I am never applying here again.

Tough questions (some weren't even role related) and overall the whole interview process of 7/8 stages is ridiculous. I would get it if they're larger companies like Google or FB but seems like they have the time and waste money just to hire for a general role.
