Director was rude and having unhealthy conversations around the questions he asked. It seems that they don't want someone having right set of skills but want to have that environment where they feel superior over the candidates to be interviewed.
Good experience with most questions suitable with experience and aligned with the job description. It was a pleasant experience with focus on the correct topics. Have had 1 round till now.
