3rd party recruiter contacted me from a job board listing then followed a technical phone call with the architect. Lastly an in-person with the engineers and architect. The architect was clearly not fit for the role as his questions were laughable, to say the least. The only reason they decided not to move forward was because the other candidate had previous work experience that matched with what they were doing. The company had no idea how to properly screen people with all the questions I was asked in-person.

Got a phone call from the staffing agency, got a phone screening from the team Architect. Then onsite interview is scheduled after. The interview took ~3 hours and mostly just talking about the company, no whiteboarding whatsoever. The architect is clearly incompetent so if you want to pursue an engineering career then steer away from this company.
