HR meeting with the HR was the first step, Assessment with some coding questions Hiring manager and meeting with the team going over the resume along with some technical questions.

1) HR phone call 2) Technical Assessment (Take-home) 3) Technical interview about the assessment + more coding challenges 4) interview with a higher up, mostly behavioural and team fit I think they outsource their recruiters, as the HR recruiter I spoke with had no technical understanding of anything, a strong accent, and was extremely unprofessional. I was told the technical assessment was automatically sent out after the first phone call, but I never got it and so I sent a follow-up email, and was told the team was reviewing my resume and it would be sent in the next couple of days. It has been a month, and the recruiter has ghosted any follow-up emails. It should also be noted that when I was asked what my expected compensation was, the recruiter sounded uneasy at my initial "high" number, even though it was within the budget in the posting. Then, after a while, the posting was edited to a much lower number. I would think negotiating would be the professional choice since I told the recruiter a pay cut would be considered, since their company culture aligns with me, but it seems like ghosting is the easier option. It's a shame because it seems the work culture and environment were really good, and I looked forward to interviewing with the engineering team.
