several conversations with managers, team members but when push came to shove salary was way below expectations. Even though in beginning of whole process my current salary was asked and 'this shouldnt be an issue', after spending hours on interviews and preparing for interviews the salary indication all of a sudden was below expectat

Pretty standard process. With increasing difficulty each step. The steps are the following: - Phone screen with recruiter - Interview with Manager - Interview with VP - Demo Generally it was a positive experience.
