1st with recruiter, 2nd with the hiring manager, final interview was a panel interview. All schedule within 2 weeks of first contact, but took multiple check-ins, 2 weeks and had to wait until the day before Christmas Eve to confirm they weren't moving forward. Completely canned response from the recruiter, lack of proactivity or clarity on pay limits, I asked to be considered for a more senior role and had to chase that down and had zero conversation or explanation. Really demoralizing and not a great sign re: culture despite being told the opposite.

I had an initial call with the recruiter, followed by a presentation, and two calls with direct managers. I enjoyed speaking with team members but thought the recruiter was the weakest part of the interview. I did not get the best first impression of them because their camera was off during our initial meeting.
