Got a call from the HR to schedule a phone interview. The first interview was with the HR and lasted for about 20 min. She later scheduled another phone interview with an engineering manager. This interview lasted for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. No technical questions were asked. They mainly just discussed my resume and what I had done before and explained the details regarding the position they were looking to hire for. It was a pretty straightforward interview.
It was quick and standard. The questions asked were focused on prior work experience and description of the job. There were a few situational based questions to judge how you would handle particular situations.
Interview with the department head with no further assessment. Discussion around cv and experience. Nothing really technical. Then a tour of the office. It was a good positive experience that resulted in a job offer.
