The usual recruitment process never has a single stage. In almost every case, you can expect a multi-stage process consisting of an interview with HR (the so-called company culture-fit interview), a technical interview (the one where you actually discuss design with a design leader), an assignment, and sometimes an interview with the product team and/or a director or VP of the department. The last one is expected for senior roles, but it might also happen for entry-level roles in smaller organizations.
