Overall the interview process was very disorganised - from the HR front it was good but when you start the actual interview its a mess.
The interviewers in both my rounds (Pairing and System design) seemed to have a fixed mindset and were not open to any assumptions that challenged them. Instead of it being an interview it turned out to be a guessing game where I had to guess what they think is the only right answer - doesn't work for a SE role :)
