Process
After applying for numerous positions, I received an email to set up a phone interview.
The interview was with a manager for the position and a full-time employee in the working group.
I was asked a mix of standard interview questions (e.g., weakness, strength) and technical questions (e.g., "What does function X do in this language?").
