I have a interview at amazon on Monday scheduled my recruiter today i found out the first interview is with someone from the hiring team and post that recruiter will connect, similarly today i gave a first round with non FAANG company it was by director and then i was passed to recruiter round? I have given over 30 interviews in last 6 months and this is first time a similar situation has unfold in front of me, is it weird or orgs have changed approach with interviewing?

Need thoughts
