6. HM interview(1 hour)

Since all these people are residing in a lot of countries, they are sometimes late. They sometimes miss emails/queries. Maybe that happens when you are in different time zones.
After all these steps they told me I didn't have enough experience in production, but they needed people who had experience in the production environment because they do not maintain separate QA/DevOps teams. But I did not have that before all 6 interview steps either. And it wasn't mentioned in the job description.
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.
