Interview
The interview screener asked management related questions, but has -0- experience in management so really didn't understand the answers. Does not make sense why they use someone so inexperienced to screen when they do not know anything about the questions they ask.

Have you ever had to push back on management?
What is your leadership style?
How do you deliver feedback to someone not performing up to standard?

Interview
initial call with HR, After that
pair programming session - fairly friendly. After that technical round digging your past work experience for 45 min and then System design task for 45 min.
I wish they would give me feedback for the system design round. I really thought I have cleared the system design round, but haven't and haven't got a clear reason why.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
pair programming - currency conversion.
system design - regarding transfers which kind of utilises the above currency conversion. Every question was related to what company does.

Interview
Red flags from the get go. A very long, 4-stage interview with final stage with the hiring manager + HO. Interviewers were really cold from the beginning, they were asking questions from a tick list, barely looked at the screen, and were beyond uninterested when given the opportunity to answer their mundane questions. The call cut out after 30 minutes, although the call was scheduled for an hour and interviewers failed to call back or apologise for losing connection. It was evident at the time, the interview wasn’t successful at this stage but they could have at least remain professional. I’d hate to even think that my ethnicity was a contribution to their poor attitudes, but it genuinely really made me feel that way considering they were icy from the get go. Overall terrible, demotivating experience. Approach with caution, unless you fancy getting your confidence knocked.
