Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

There was a phone screen by HR, followed by a phone screen by a developer. At the former, I was told that quantitative skills were important to the position. At the latter, I was told that they weren't. I was then asked to rate myself as a programmer on a scale of 1-10.

When I said 6-7, I received a string of extremely easy technical questions, such as the differences between a do-while loop and a for loop. I was not asked about object-oriented programming at all, although a lack of that knowledge was given as a reason in the subsequent rejection letter.
