Babylon Senior Software Engineer In Test interview questions

I applied for a particular role in AI team with Python as a programming language, but clearly mentioned in my cover letter, that I was proficient in C#, but really wanted to learn Python now. I decided if company could provide a training they would contact me. They did. I had a very informal chat with in-house recruter and made him aware I'm interested in the office on Liverpool street, but South Kensington office is too far away from my house. After this I was given a Hackerrank test, which had nothing related to testing and automation, but contained purely programming puzzles with algorithms and matrix. Okay, I solved as much as I could and used Java, because I had some experience in this area and had a choice from Java and Python only. After two weeks of silence I got an email with invintation to face-to-face interview in South Kensington office. I didn't feel the catch at that point. Face-to-face inteview consisted of two parts: general chat with QA manager and technical part with one Senior SDET. People were very friendly and supportive, but... they interviewed me for a position of Senior SDET with Java for the backend team based at the South Kensington office. I realised this in the middle of the interview and just decided to proceed because I was already there. Moreover I didn't meet anybody from this particular team and was told they will have another round of interview with me later. As a result I was told there will be two more rounds: another one technical interview with people who didn't bother to appear at the current one and general chat with CTO if technical interview is succesful. I decided I fed up with this process and it's better to stop it now. To summarize: I applied for one role and mentioned that location was very important for me. I spent around 4 hours on Hackerrank (2 to understand how it works, another 2 for technical challenge), I spent 2,5 hours to be inteviewed for a position I never applied for, with people who were not a part of the team looking for a new engineer. And two more rounds are on their way. I can't say I wasted all this time, but if I knew at the beginning what was the role, I would reject it.
