First, I had a phone interview with HR to go over my resume, talk about salary, and ask behavioral questions like strengths, weaknesses, and overcoming obstacles. It lasted about 30 minutes. After that, there was an on-site interview with the team that lasted almost two hours.

The whole process took more than a month. They told me everything looks good and they are working on the offer so they put my mind at ease. Instead they came back and said sorry but we can't meet your salary requirements so we wont move forward with you, not even asking which salary works for me. Overall very underwhelming experience. Work place during the interview looked very boring and bleak, no sound came from anywhere. Nobody seemed to be excited to work there.
