This was through a recruitment agency for a contract to hire role. Keep in mind, I would've been a returning employee. They say they want someone "lesser experience who can come in and learn and grown with the team, but someone with a solid foundation and a background in xyz". I fit the bill exactly, with 2 years of experience, and experience at the company itself. Had already been through two rounds of vetting and conversations already. Recruiter was in love with me. Then say "We want someone with more experience". Complete bafoonery and nnonsense. Wastes of time. This is also my SECOND time interviewing with the company, having gotten a job once already.

I had just 1 technical round. Theory and 2 coding challenges. Was asked way too many questions for the position of .net dev. Was asked a lot of deep front-end dev-related questions.
