Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
Very informal, with questions about current activities and job descriptions. manager provided in great detail the responsibilities and expectations of the job. How team members work together, after hour support. I believe they were gauging how well the personality of the individual would work in the position they were trying to fill.
