I had three phone rounds, and all went well.

The first conversation was on the "bible" (read as Netflix slides deck) with an HR executive. She seemed very little interested in listening to what I was saying, just going over a few things. In a way, she dragged on the conversation, which lasted over 50 minutes.

After that, I spoke with the hiring manager/director. That was great – a very good interview and conversation. He asked some good, tough questions that I answered, and overall, it went really well. I also asked some great questions (in his words).

I like the team and the manager; the work is as he described. All good so far.

After that, I was told there would be another phone interview with a team member, an ex-Microsoft employee. Then, I was called for another round of interviews on CollabEdit (a second CollabEdit round). I actually did great; my solution was pretty good. We had a good conversation as well. Overall, till this point, everything was good and okay.

I got an email two days later saying my background is not what they are looking for at this point and that I should be in touch for any other positions that might come up.
