You should have walked out when they asked you to do that 2nd technical interview. People are not computers. We all know that a simple coding interview is necessary to winnow out the barely competent people, so it is reasonable to have a brief phone interview, followed by some kind of timed coding test. But when you pass that and then, instead of talking to you, they want you to do another coding interview, walk away. They are a bunch of idiots who you would not want to work with anyway.
Employers owe it to candidates to actually talk to them, to ask them questions about their experience. If they are not willing to do that after a short phone screening and a timed coding test, then this employer lacks confidence in their ability to find people and is clutching at straws in the hope that battery after battery of coding tests is going to identify a good employee.
People are not computers. There is value in a person's character, their approach to work, the way they design a solution and make decisions. You need to talk to them in order to learn that kind of thing.
