an interview with human resource and another with the manager by skype. Around 1 hour, more technical questions with the manager about the technologies used. after 2 weeks I received a favorable response

Contact: initiated via LinkedIn by internal recruiter Phone call: w/ internal recruiter, fact finding, and expectation management. Professional, short. Phone interview: w/ internal recruiter and team manager. Explanation of company and position. Evaluation of my interests/skills. In-person interview: Round robin with team managers and predecessor. Friendly, shallow dive into technical abilities and position details. Test: test of relative skills applied to company technology; deceptively difficult, but manageable. Offer: Timely, but not as high as the internal recruiter led on. Non-negotiable. Background check: Not sure why this wasn't done before the offer. In my opinion the internal recruiter falsely represented the salary offering and then hard-sold a relatively low offer. The lack of willingness to negotiate still bugs me. Luckily, I didn't let it bug me too much (chalk it up to a lesson learned).
