Evergen interview questions

I submitted my application and then contacted by the hiring manager because the HR recruiter was no longer with the company (that's not a good sign). I was asked for my portfolio BEFORE an interview was even scheduled. Talk about off-putting. I guess there is no human interaction anymore. Or perhaps, the company posted a position as a means to generate ideas (which I have seen at other companies). If this is what the company does at the very beginning, I can't imagine what it would be like to work for them.

Two stage interview. Stage 1 - teams call with hiring manager. Just describing the role Stage 2 - onsite interview with hiring manager and another member of the finance team, competency based questions.
