Seven years ago I was asked to do interview with recruiter, technical screening, a take home test that took me most of a weekend, and a 3.5 hours long interview with a BE, a FE and a tech architect asking me stuff from all the stack including infrastructure and architecture, and including pair programming with yhe FE and then the BE on the project I presented. It was hard but worth it in the end, my point is the process depends on the company and there is huge variability.
