Initial screening call, call with hiring manager, "technical" review, then panel interview. The Technical interview is given with very little direction. Technical is a very broad term and the company doesn't give you any narrowing information to help prepare yourself (back end, front end, infrastructure, R&S, etc.). I was told the company does not consider UI/UX to fall within the technical realm of program management which is a red flag in itself.
When I joined the Technicalcall I had only a rough list of activities to be held within the hour and no additional information on what to expect or prepare for. The host spent time explaining in better detail what to expect then they insisted on proceeding with the call as-is rather than idendtifying the misalignment and offering to reschedule. As it is, preparing for "technical" is a nonsense task in itself and should have been clearly communicated as a "deep dive into 'x' technical topic" to allow for proper interview preparation and practice.
During the start of the technical call, the host of the meeting did a deep dive into one line of information in my resume from many years back. They made many assumptions to my role and when I told them that wasn't a good example to assess my technical cababilities due to the limited responsibilities of that one thing, he continued to press on rather than being fluid and working to identify something else in my long resume to talk through. I clearly stated many times that it wasn't a relevant example and I was ignored as they continued to press forward without working to redirect to make a better use of time for both of us.
The company has a very narrow mind of what they want in their meetings past the hiring manager interview and it's very clear the employee I interacted with cannot think organically or pivot to truly do the deep dive they are portraying. I have never in my career wanted to leave mid-interview from a poor employer experience, however, I strongly considered itduring that call. One of the worst interview experiences I've ever had from a perspective employer.
Indeed did not exhibit qualities of equity or professionalism within my interviewing process and I cannot recommend them for consideration for employment.

Question 1
"Technical deep dive" - if you still want to work for this company, I'd strongly advise you to press the company to define what they think technical is so you can properly prepare yourself for your interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (McHenry, IL) in Dec 2021
Interview
After a pre-screen with a recruiter and an interview with the hiring manager, I went through a technical screening with another program manager. Entire process has been great so far.
