The interview was mostly technical, coding and system design and behavioral at the end. Good and friendly people, and interview was very on the point for the job duties. Started with a 15 min recruiter screening, and couple of technical rounds, one system design round and one hiring manager interview.

Fairly straightforward interview process. Had one round of talk with the hiring manager and then 3 team matching interviews with senior engineers/ architect. Questions were technical as well as design based and scenario based, what was a big turnoff was that after the whole interview process the recruiter asked me to provide atleast 3 professional references, later they reached back letting me know that they need more references as they were unable to contact the provided references(although checking with the professional refs provided they had already interacted with them and gave their feedback). I gave another few references and the most surprising part is that the hiring manager asking the professional references to apply and consider applying for the same position and explore opportunities in this organization which is a conflict of interest and disheartening to the prospective candidate being considered. Also lack of follow ups from recruiter post the interview, regarding any potential offer is not expected.
