Initial chat with head hunter (internal), then had to do a leetcode + technical questions quick fire through Karat. Passed with flying colours and so was put through with aiming for Principal but same process as Senior. Then take home code assessment (not too hard, few hours). Then the usual set of 3: architectural, coding (reviewing and enhancing assessment) and behavioural/STAR Afterwards took a week to get the hiring committee to decide to hire me, but at a lower level than expected due to one particular STAR question, which to me seemed pretty minor. Then there was more silence. I received some other offers with tight deadlines a week later and asked them what the compensation would look like, but they couldn't tell me. After some prodding and sharing my numbers they said they couldn't get near that (despite originally saying even a good senior engineer would be on that).
