Process

Asked about my background and research.

I had two phone interviews.

The second one was a conference call with video.

The first interviewer asked about my resume very generally.

The second interview focused on what wasn't covered in the first interview.

There were no detailed programming questions.

They were looking for a user-space C programmer.
