Eine schwierige und unerwartete Frage im klassischen Sinn wurde nicht gestellt. Es ging in den Fragen mehr um die Aufgaben in der neuen Rolle, das Team, die Kunden und ob man sich in diesem Umfeld wiederfinden will.

they have pretty typical interview questions, e.g. name your strengths and weaknesses. Most persons interviewing me were in their mid to late 20's, so there was not a ton of interviewing experience present, either ;)
