Online Assessment: Mostly questions on REST APIs, System Design
Very Easy level

I had asked the recruiter regarding the expectation of the interview but they never mentioned front end.

Technical (3 rounds):
Day 1, Round 1(1 hr): I was asked randomly on everything: front end technologies, Database, REST APIs, System Design
The interview was very interactive and the interviewer was polite. It went well, although I have majorly been in back end for the past 2 years and had to recollect my front end skills.

Day 2, Round 2(1 hr): One DS question(LC Medium) but left it in the middle and moved on to System Design(design BookMyShow). The interviewer wanted the round to be for one and a half hour but the recruiter had scheduled an HR round immediately after this, so we rushed through the interview. Kept switching from coding to system design.

Day 2, Round 3(1 hr): This was by far the worst interview I have ever had. It was a technical interview and not an HR interview, as told to me.
His questions had no clarity:
1.If I had to introduce you to the team, what would I say you are skilled at?
When I started answering, he mentioned that he wanted to know a specific domain like (expert in networking etc) but was not ready to listen- kept interrupting.
2. How would you design an API to upload images?
He kept interrupting with - what would you do if the image does not get uploaded? how would you tell the user? without letting me answer.
I could hear the interviewer play funny videos in his system while I was answering. It was so disrespectful that I had already decided to not join the company if he were to be my manager. Thankfully, he himself cut the interview short and dropped after 25 minutes. Perhaps, Round 2 lady could have got her half an hour had the scheduling was done properly.

Result: I called the recruiter after five days since I never received any response. She mentioned that the Day 2 rounds had a 50:50 feedback which is expected since the interviewers themselves lacked the interviewing skills. How would they assess any candidate with this process?
Since I have other offers, looking at their unprofessionalism, I did not want to wait for them to come back with any offer and accepted other job at a competing FinTech company.
