First got a call from an external consultant who asked basic questions like my year of experience, interesting project, why I want to change, give some description about the role, and set up a call with the company recruiter. Next call with the company recruiter. The same set of questions and a bit more details about the company. Asked about my availability for a coding interview which was supposed to be a screening round. In the screening round was done on codility platform. No codility question though. I got an email : Thank you for taking the time to talk with us! After careful assessment, we regret to inform you that you were not selected for the position of Senior Software Engineer (Java) - Connected Network (all genders). We enjoyed speaking with you and learning about your experience and interests. We wish you best of luck with your professional and personal future!

The interviewer was looking desperately tired and unfocused. Didn't join the interview on time. I had to find someone else to ping him to join.
The questions were generic and related. However, it took 2 weeks for the interviewer to send the results of a basic questionnaire to move forward.
I was overall hugely disappointed with that.
