I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fast Enterprises
Interview
I recently had a phone interview (if you can call it that) with Fast Enterprises, after being contacted by one of their recruiters. It started out normally enough, with the interviewer asking what I thought was a simple question: what I knew about the company.
Well, apparently the interviewer wasn't satisfied with my answer. She stopped the interview immediately and told me to go read their website. I *had* read their website, and had hoped to get some more detailed information about how they handle things like client project placement/selection and relocation during the interview. Isn't that part of the purpose of these initial, 'getting to know you' phone interviews? But no, I was never given a chance to ask any questions, I was just shooed away. I really got the feeling that she just wanted to get me off the phone, as if she had something more important to do than interview a prospective employee.
It also made me wonder what it would be like to work for the company. If I asked my boss a simple question, would I get a simple answer, or would I be shooed away and told to go read internal corporate document #1483C? I was given the opportunity to continue the interview process a week later, but by this point I had been turned off of the company and declined it.

Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. The process included an initial screening call followed by a technical interview. I was asked about my previous experience, basic programming concepts, problem-solving, and how I approach coding tasks. The interviewers were professional and explained the next steps clearly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a recent project you worked on and explain your role, the main technical challenges, and how you solved them?
Multilevel, looking to discern your ability to think outside of the box. There was a technical assessment component, and an IQ-like set of questions. You can be called into multiple interviews if you are seen as a potential. Moving is emphasized in the interview.

Interview
During the phone call interview, they asked multiple questions about what I was looking for. They also talked about the specific job that I am applying for. It was only about a 10 to 15 minute phone call.
