Process

A quick phone interview.

Good questions about my past experience and future interests.

Very fair and well-organized. Friendly and to the point. Not intimidating. An enjoyable experience.

Focused on recent positions, including ability to problem-solve. Talked some about working with others, ability, manageability, and willingness. Not as technical as I would have expected.
