Question 1
Why are you interested in the role, what do you know about the role, how did you find out about the role.
The first round is an video interview and there are four questions. All are behavioral questions. After that, I received an invitation in three days I finished the video interview process. And there are two interviewers. The first one lasts about 20 minutes and all are behavioral questions.

Interview
Worst interview in my life. Interviewer was arrogant and rude. He didn´t even look at my face. He just sat there looking at the wall while I was answering his questions. For a moment I thought he was blind.
He constantly interrupted all my answers making me start again but in other words. I had to improvise several different answers for each question on the run and once and again he interrupted me and asked the same in a menacing tone, as if I were giving him the wrong answer. Some of the questions were so self explanatory that I can't think of anything that could have bothered him. (the tasks I did in my previous job, what did I study, etc). If that guy was expected to be my future boss I'm glad I failed that interview. Oh, and they didn't even bothered to send me an email to say I was rejected.
