Standard stuff. prelim screening, then on-site - 4-5 1hr interviews.
You gotta be good at interviews. Wrote a hashtable implementation on the board (can you code).
Solved a few distributed systems problems - bank of webservers, tiers of caching, dealing with connection fan-in, etc (do you understand systems and networks, not just FOR loops).
Few other questions - interviewers were pretty good at it. I learned a few things to use in my own interviews.

A bunch of system design, leetcode and behvaiour based questions. The people interviewing were overall very nice and made me feel comfortable during the interview. However the recruiter was horrible, never heard back from her. Tried reaching out but did not respond to emails/phone calls.

I passed this and get scheduled for 4 rounds of virtual interviews. 2 panel interviews about 1:30 hrs each (1 coding and 2 system design), 30 min cultural fit interview with senior director, and 45 min cross functional interview with program manager. All folks were on time and were very friendly.

I dropped out after the initial phone screen. I have six years gamedev experience and over a decade in web development with experience in multiple languages, but they started with "what is the difference between an object and an interface" and proceeded to move through comp Sci 104 for a principal level position.
Change your process, maybe recognize you shouldn't be presenting your higher level candidates with junior-at-best level questions
