Process
I spoke with a recruiter who then scheduled two interviews. The phone screens went fine. Both interviewers were really nice.
One interviewer pretty much did his own work while I raced against the clock. The other interviewer was paying fairly close attention.
After that, my recruiter left the company, and then the new recruiter took a couple of weeks to get back to me. He then passed me on to another recruiter. By then, I had received an offer from another company, so I accepted that one.
Questions
Both questions had to do with file systems. Not too difficult, but not easy.
