I don't come from a developer background but that honestly sounds ridiculous.
If this type of thing is standard in software development, I feel bad for anybody in the industry.
I can only talk about my experience, not sure how it reflects the whole industry. But all the big companies I applied for had a multistep recruitment process. On the other hand, the company I work for at the moment, was more than chill during the interview process. I had two interviews, one with the HR 3rd party and one with the CTO and the founder. I didn't do any homework and most of the time we talked was a casual small talk with some tech questions. The more I think about that conversation, the more I think that I didn't read between the lines. I guess the people who I talked to were really good t judging the character.
