Technical Coding Presentation Behavioral
It started with a recruiter call, then a technical round with the whole team doing leetcode-style problems. After that, I had an on-site with three parts: a technical one, a presentation, and a chat with the hiring manager. I was initially given an offer, but it was rescinded after I attempted to negotiate. I was told I'm money-driven rather than team-driven.

Behavioral
The HR person first invited me for a 1-hour in-person interview at their office. About a week later, I got another call from HR asking about my current salary and my expected salary. I decided to turn down their offer since it was still early in the year and I had recently received a good raise from my current employer.
