I'm fine with technical interviews that are "test-like", with questions and answers and discussion and with an engineer who is my technical equal. But this was not that.

The more inhumane the screener the worse the job in my experience.

Had one recently that waived me thru and then sent me straight to talking to senior management/stakeholders/etc but literally no one on the team itself.

Couldn’t get a straight answer as to what team does, what role is for, real day to day I’d be walking.

Only clear thing was scale of architectural mess stemming from a political mess… and not a lot of interest in changing it.

They wanted a seasoned tech body to throw into the grinder 12-15hr days to replace the last one. No thanks.
