Spoke to a recruiter as well as a software engineer. Got a good sense of the company, their products and the role they were looking to fill. By the end of the conversations, I think they may have felt that I may have been an awkward fit from a tech standpoint. Nevertheless, I was impressed with the professionalism of everyone involved and with the fact that they managed to really understand my background and the potential fit there.
All in all, had a very positive impression of their company, their people & the product.

Interview
I first got a call from HR. Then have 5 round interviews.
I think their management is messy because I got asked the same question twice. I then got rejected. Glad I got a couple of offers from other FAANG companies.
