Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I was contacted by the recruiter to set up the technical phone call interview. The interviewer was the coolest guy I've ever been interviewed by. He asked me only about the current project I'm working on, as the position is very specific to it. It went really well, and two business days later, I received an email from the recruiter stating they would be offering me the position.

Questions

Unexpectedly, I wasn't asked any typical interview questions. It was mainly focused on the specific projects I'd worked on, which pretty much told them everything I knew that could help them.
