They asked detailed questions about my understanding of the technology. This was not unexpected, but I got the impression they wanted me to have a strong aptitude for technology--not just an ability to write about it, but a love of learning it and an ability to understand it well.

Why would you fit into their corporate climate (they tell you nobody leaves once they get hired, but a little research shows high job turnover, esp. in the writing team). Such incongruities undermined the interview for me. Perhaps it would be your cup of tea. I don't sense corroboration or collegiate work ethic.

There were many difficult questions that I believe were put in place to test an individuals ability to research, but one of the most unexpected situations that came up was a simulation that was given to remotely connect to a server (from a laptop that was provided) and troubleshoot some network communication issue that the server was having (between it and a few of its hosts). Unfortunately, not all packages necessary to complete the task were installed on the server machine (which didn't have internet access).
