Mapbox interview questions

Had two rounds - with the recruitment team and the hiring manager. The first was going over CV and hearing about open positions. Döring hiring manager round we briefly discussed previous project, product and team building experience without too much details

I had only one recruiter screening call, and unexpectedly the recruiter asked quite a few very generic technical questions. While I was answering, I was told, “oh, I do not understand,” which made the conversation feel pointless and unprepared. The process was also described as a 6-step interview loop, It includes two behavioral interviews and even an AI assessment interview where they apparently evaluate how you use AI, which feels unnecessary and overengineered. Afterward I've received an email saying they had shown my resume to the hiring manager and decided not to proceed. That raised the obvious question: why wasn’t the resume reviewed by the hiring manager before starting the process especially for such big IC position? The experience felt inefficient, inconsistent, and not respectful of the candidate’s time.
