It was pretty good for the first step. Just a very good chat with an actual engineer.
On the second stage, there were two interviewers. Long story short, the more senior interviewer, who was not an engineer, kept on talking over me as I was talking.
Get ready folks for the real information: The tone was very condescending and I've been in tough interviews before. On the technical assessment, this interviewer did not seem to be paying attention and jumped in whenever he heard snippets, and suggested wrong solutions. Talked about the problem as if I didn't understand it when I explicitly said "I am ready to return the answer". Then went off on his own to suggest some other solution. Tried to accommodate his needs though it was just forced in. Afterwards, I submitted my solution that took care of all edge cases and did not require his suggestions (less code & computation). It felt like wasted time for all of us and I honestly wanted to say "Can we just move on from this question?"
The feel of the interview is... you probably don't want to work here if the problem is so easy but you can't give your answer.

Interview
After doing the Plum profile, I have a group coffee chat where a recruiter asks for additional info on the technical sides. A few days later I got invited to a Codility round.
I am getting past the Codility round, will update asap.
