Applied via the company's website. First, I had a call with the recruiter. They mentioned my salary expectations were too high, despite being within the specified range. Then, about a week later, I spoke with the hiring manager. The whole process lasted about two weeks, and then about 2-3 months later, I got an automated rejection email.
