Phone call screen with recruiter, standard questions about experience and competency, there were no tricks here. Received a follow up call with the recruiter where they had a list of three questions they wanted me to answer via e-mail before proceeding with the next interview which would be with someone at the company. I sent in my answers and was told they were acceptable and they scheduled the next call. On the next call with NuoDB, it was not what I expected and in a positive way. They were incredibly conversational and made me feel comfortable truly discussing my experience, sharing what they wanted to accomplish, and discussing how my strengths and weaknesses may fit into the company and what they wanted to accomplish. I was scheduled for another interview but ended up declining due to a life event. They even followed up with me a month later which I thought was extremely nice of them.
