First - Telephonic Interview: Managerial-cum-Technical. Architecting, Lead/Managerial experience, etc.

2nd - In Person / Face to Face: Managerial-cum-Technical. More on the line of the first round.

3rd - Skype Video Call (after a week post 2nd): US team Managerial-cum-Technical (more technical).

4th - In Person (week after 3rd): Director and US Senior Leadership.

5th - Same day as with 4th: HR including Salary negotiation. Post re-confirmation with Director / Senior Leadership, HR agreed to the hike / expected salary (fixed part) as well.

Offer Roll-out:

This is the stage/process where Lowe's falters / messes up. Some contractor or low-grade incompetent HRs/associates screw up and embarrass the candidate(s) and the company as well.

Post document submission, they never called back nor updated, nor did they roll out any offer; forget even a formal break-up of CTC.

There is no proper co-ordination and communication. I was informed that the offer was on, but it was taking time. After further weeks, Lowe's (different HR again) called me back and then, contrary to all the interview discussions and final nod on the band/level/designation and salary, the HR completely back-tracked and instead said they never discussed anything. They offered (verbally) only the previous company's salary, which I refused.

Then they further asked me to wait for a few days, and they would roll out the offer, but they never did (obvious).
