Before talking to anyone over the phone, I had to complete an online, timed coding test. After passing the test, I had to talk to a HR person for a half hour. There wasn't any useful information in that conversation, but it was probably to make sure I spoke English fluently or something along those lines. After that, I had a phone screen with a developer. With 25 minutes remaining, he asked me to go to collabedit. He asked me a simple question but it still required some thought because it wasn't something you'd normally do. I asked a clarifying question and he answered it. After working on the problem for maybe 5-10 minutes, he said "Oh I'm sorry. I should have been more clear. I actually wanted you to do this." The actual question was very different and I had only 15 or so minutes left. I figure I could have almost completed it in 30-45 minutes. Maybe he screwed up but he was a smart guy so I think it's more likely the redirection was on purpose. I didn't have enough time to complete the actual question. At the end, the interviewer told me he didn't expect me to complete it. I think I need to be much faster at interview questions, but I was also left feeling that the phone screen wasn't a realistic test of my ability.
