An interview is all about the employer and the employee understanding each others requirements and transparency plays a big role.
Affirm's transparent interview process is a game changer. Thoroughly impressed.
There is nothing like a difficult question or an easy question. All you need to do is be well prepared.

Technical and functional questions around my line of work
I feel led on by the recruiter who kept saying positive things about my interview performance just to give the role to someone else. The sheer volume of interviews I completed was outrageous for what the role is.

First round - hiring Manager
Second round - system design with a staff engineer. Extremely unprofessional, dismissive and condescending. I knew in the first 5 mins that I will not be going to next round.
