Nuance Principal Software Engineer interview questions

Kept me clueless throughout the interview process. Called me directly to set the first round of interview to which I agreed. I asked a few questions about the position and interview process to which the revert was, "we are from a different team within Nuance which only deals with organising the interviews. I would connect with the recruiter and get back to you" The first round was scheduled for 1.5 hours in which I was asked technical questions on iOS. This went well for 30 mins and the interviewer was impressed with the answers. She decided to call it an end of the interview. Post the first round, got a call from HR and for scheduling the second round, then she explained that there would be three rounds in total. The next round was DS-Algo basics where mostly easy problem solving question were asked and you were supposed to code it. This too went well. Post this round the HR called me and said that she would arrange the second round. When I explained that I had already given a second round, I was told that the round one itself was divided into round round by the interviewer. The third round again was similar problem solving DS-Algo where two easy type of problems were being asked to solve. After clearing this round, I got a call from the Recruiting team, now asking me about expected CTC and notice period, and suddenly they noticed that my notice period was a bit too long for them, but they wanted to continue with the interview process. In the fourth round, which as per the HR was managerial round, turned out to be another technical round where I was again asked DS-Algo questions. One of this was Medium / Difficult. Along with this I was asked some OS level questions. After the fourth round and one month down the recruitment process, I got a rejection, which was a bit frustrating as I had already cleared DS-Algo rounds.

Just asked one question and ended the interview. The interview was mainly on current project structure and roles and responsibilities. Does the job require managerial skill, how much percentage of the work is actual coding and how much is management.
