Process
I had a phone interview with basic technical questions. My interviewer was kind of awkward, and it seemed like he wasn't prepared to give the interview. We talked for about 30 minutes, and it seemed like most answers I gave, he checked on a sheet of paper.
Questions
I can't really remember the questions, but basic knowledge of hardware and software would be recommended.
