Initial call with the recruiter describing the position. The problem was the description didn't match reality. The recruiter mentioned some projects and technologies the interviewers weren't even aware of. Take-home challenge. Implement a self-updating tweeter feed. "Pair programming" - this stage went really bad. The recruiter set me up for failure. He said it will be a discussion about the take-home solution and architecture and decisions made and maybe some updates to that code. In reality, the 2 interviewers, without even making an introduction, put a Codesandbox in front of me and presented 3 tasks that had to be done under pressure with no warning whatsoever. Because I had no idea of what to expect beforehand and the task was very niche, it took me some time to solve the tasks but the entire "pairing" experience was terrible. I knew straight away I didn't want to work there with those people. After the interview the recruiter, Joe Brown, ghosted on me - I sent him an email, he didn't call back or ever replied to any of my emails. It was one of the worst candidate experiences I've seen on the market.
