Process

This was a phone interview. The interviewer was the hiring manager and was asking mostly general soft skills questions, such as:

  • What is your greatest strength?
  • What is your greatest weakness?
  • Describe a situation where you had to deal with a conflict on the team.
  • Other behavioral questions were asked. Almost no technical questions, mostly in the form of "do you know technology X"?

A few days after the interview he emailed saying that the position was canceled. And there it was.
