First interviewer was Director level and they had clearly not read my resume prior to the interview. They thought I had a different background than was on my resume.
Second interviewer was clearly prejudiced towards my cultural background. They also did not know for which position or group I was interviewing for.
The company expected me to spend several hours preparing yet they did not prepare at all.

First call with recruiter/hiring manager, then assuming that goes well you go to the first round. First round was a system design which was right out of the early 2000s and something that may sound simple, but was more complicated due to the lack of information.

Pregunta 1
System design question had 2 boxes with a database in the center. The arrows between the 3 all pointed right, implying [App] -> [DB] -> [3rd] party service was how this system was supposed to work. The assumed ask was for an application to write to a DB, describe how the database would make a call to a 3rd party service to get a UUID and Body. It was made clear you have no control over [App] which writes to the database, only the database and whatever service would call the 3rd party service.
