Had one phone and one in-person interview. The former was with the region leader and the latter was with a team leader and someone from HR.
The leader was a little rude and dismissed my answers when he thought they were wrong even if they were questions about my own personality. For the classic 'Are you more of a leader or follower?' I remember how he said "No, you're wrong. You're definitely not a leader."
The second interview was standard and I received an email that I had gotten into the next round. Only, I was ghosted after that. Follow-up emails led to nowhere so I just gave up in the end.
