CTO was open minded and positive to offer a chance. However, tech lead seemed too sceptical and even asked a lame question: "type something on keyboard" as if they never saw any non-male person ever doing programming. Pair programming wasn't there, only basic level questions.

The first round was with CTO. It was very positive and CTO is very open minded. Provided me the chance for interview despite limited experience. But then when I went to the interview with the team lead, not sure why I was asked to "type something in code" as if he never saw person like me doing coding. Most parts I could not answer, however he knew I was too junior. Not sure never received the offer. Maybe the team lead is only used to see some specific type of people like him doing the coding.
