I had a phone screen with one of the leads, which moved on to an onsite interview. Scheduling took some time, which you can expect.
For the onsite, I had four interviews:
Here comes the funny part, which I didn't like. They kept me in the dark without any feedback or next steps for two weeks, despite some follow-ups. Finally, I learned that my application was on hold as they were interviewing other candidates. This was the case for a few other candidates as well, which I found out later. So, if you interviewed, chances are you probably won't hear from them for the next couple of weeks.
In the third week, I followed up again as I wanted to know the outcome and received a decline the very next day through an automated email.
This process would probably have been made easier with a timeline and some feedback, if possible.
Due to an NDA, I cannot disclose details, but these are pretty standard LC mediums.
