Software Engineer Interview Experience - Greece

Process

I received an email stating that I had been selected to proceed with an interview and that someone would contact me. After a couple of weeks, I sent a reminder, and someone called me to schedule the date. I proposed a couple of dates, and they said they would verify with the interviewers. The dates I proposed were close, but I had no news, so I sent another reminder. Then they called again, asking me to propose new dates. This time, they verified within a couple of days.

During the interviews, the questions were almost all on a technology I had already informed them I was a starter in, so I could not answer most of them. I had three separate interviews, and in all three, they asked the exact same questions, rephrased, on the technology I didn't know. The interviews were on the same day, so there was no time to study in between.

One of the interviewers asked a general CS-related question, which I answered correctly immediately. However, he kept challenging me for a different answer because, as he said, he expected a wrong answer and then to guide me to the correct one (??).

It then took them a few weeks to reply back that I did not match with the position.

Questions

.NET related, mostly. And a couple of general questions related to CS problems.
