The recruiter conducted an initial screening.

Next, I had one technical interview with the team I would be joining. I was asked several technical and design questions about the project they are working on. I did not answer some of these questions satisfactorily.

Following that, I interviewed with my future supervisor (a Director). They asked a few standard questions, such as "Where do you plan to be in five years?" and other questions focused on work culture, likely to check compatibility.

Surprisingly, I was hired despite not performing particularly stellar. However, I had extensive and impressive experience, and I was in the right location. I don't believe there was much competition. The process was very easy, with no challenges like LeetCode, possibly because it was for an IC5 position.
