Got a call from a recruiter, sent me to a tech recruiter. The tech recruiter didn't have camera turned on, lots of background noises (kids playing, traffic), seemed like he's some where across the planet. I couldn't hear or understand him. When I asked him to repeat the question, he would get upset. Very unprofessional. He asked me a bunch of weird stuff like (first: do you have experience in nodejs. I said yes. Then he goes on and asked do you have experience in javascript. I got a little confused there)

1:1 team lead interview with resume review and how to implement basic class. You can only pass if you know what you are doing in my opinion. He will question your every decision and make sure you know why what you chose is a good / bad option. The interviewer is very nice though otherwise, making jokes during the interview. But you better know what you're doing.

First stage of the process was a one way interview. Mainly questions like "Why BMO?" or "Tell me about a project you did", and one situational question like "what would you do if you were part of 'x' team that is having this problem" etc. The second stage would have been a first-round interview with a recruiter or manager, and then a possible second round with team members.
