Despite the weird format at the beginning, the interviewer was professional and senior, so we had interesting technical discussion

4 rounds of interview = 3 technical interview and one managerial interview with VP

Had two people in a coupe of rounds. It was in person
A phone interview with HR and for the on site 3 separate interviews; one with the managers and two other interviews for the technical questions. During the interview, some people on the panel were very rude and their behavior was completely unethical in a way I wanted to leave the interview!! Sometimes the interview itself reveals the company culture easily and I was lucky enough to notice that before it was too late.
