It starts out pleasant enough with the recruiter phone screen. From there, you're funneled along through the usual dozen and a half interviews which have become de rigeur for tech jobs these days.
Over the course of the interviews it became rather clear that they were fishing for a unicorn who would be willing to work 60 hour weeks for 40 hours of mid-level SysAdmin pay while juggling ownership of five or six different areas of IT operations - essentially architecting an entire IT department from scratch. In this economy, I'm sure they'll find their unicorn, but I find it a rather disingenuous process when listings are misleading like this - peddling expectations soft externally while hoping for a unicorn internally, a unicorn who will happily juggle 4-5 jobs above their pay grade for the pay of one far below their pay grade.

The summarized experience, in jest: Have you ever been the head of an IT department and are you willing to do it for us for System Administrator pay and title?

Stage one with TA, recruiter skipped because they couldn’t find 15-30 minutes to meet with me. Fast tracked me to next stage, meeting hiring manager. Hiring manager shows up, a software engineer through and through and starts grilling me with unrelated technical questions for 30 minutes. No heads up this is going to be a technical interview. Has zero people skills, pays no interest in my background or me as a person. Asks me to explain the difference between a left, right and inner join in SQL queries. They are basically trying to hire a full stack software engineer who can speak to people for between 70-120K. This was one of the least professional interviews I’ve ever experienced and there’s clear confusion on the difference between a Sales Engineer and a Software Engineer.
