Entrevista
At first there was an initial screening call which took about 30 minutes where I've been told about the position, company and the project. Then I've been sent task to create a CLI Python tool for scanning and downloading some Debian mirror files and short report - takes around 2-3 hours I'd say.
After this I've been invited to what I understood was a technical round. It took around 25 minutes and I've been asked some quite regular questions about things like threads, processes, ssh, understanding Python code, etc. I made notes throughout the call and only thing I couldn't answer was where to find server log files, out of all other questions.
I was pretty excited after this part, because I was pretty confident I knew about all the topics they asked me about, plus the position was advertised as junior level and I already work with the cloud at my current position and have 3 years of Python experience.
The next day I've been called by the recruiter who signed me up for that position that it's a "no". Later on I've received an automated email that they've chosen someone else. This was very confusing for me and I don't understand why did the process move forward so well then cut unexpectedly. Beware.
Participated in 5 separate interviews with different people about different work aspects + one script assignment. The last one was a final panel interview. The main person who was with me on most of the interviews told me they would get in touch soon regarding the result.
They did so on time and it was a negative response. Of course they can decide however they want, however after investing so much time to their interviews and assignment I would expect more than just getting some general one-line email from their tool (especially since they didn't give me any reason to think it's not going well).
A polite call and at least a hint of why did they decide so would be professional behavior. Not this.

lots of questions. Some technical, some work-related, nothing too deep.

Did online interviews. Had to go through 4-5 sessions which took about 2 months due to delays from company's side. There was some confusion between the persons interviewing me as they contradicted some parts of the job description (and not some small stuff). Few days after my last interview, They've let me know my application was declined.
Of course it's their full right to decline whomever they want, however after wasting so much of my time on interviewing process, I would at least expect such email from one of the persons interviewing me with at least a hint of why they chose to decline me (as they didn't give me any reason to think it's going bad).
Instead I've received some auto-generated no-reply type email from their tool.
I do not consider that a professional behavior.
