Articulate Global interview questions

I spoke on the phone for 30 minutes with someone from Articulate(I believe a developer). I'm an experienced developer and was a team lead on specialty software for major companies in the past. Asked one technical question (which I believe I got right) and then asked about my background. I asked questions about the company and product, maybe I should have studied the product more, but there isn't too much material online about it. I don't think this company looks for the latest and greatest features in .net or C#. They seem conservative. Their app is mostly Windows Forms and XML. No databases and minimal mobile and web(HTML 5). It seems like a good company but their product isn't the most exiting on the planet. The interview seemed to go OK, and the interviewer discussed in detail the next steps they take. Shortly afterwards I was told by email I'm not a perfect match for the company. I was not given a chance to show my coding expertise. Seemed fickle, like a first date, you don't really know what you said that makes you not get a second. I would have much rather get rejected for not passing a technical test. Can't really say anything good or bad about them.

Two basic parts: -- The proverbial discussion about one's resume, work history, etc. -- Online 'sandbox' test (i.e. Notepad type interface wherein you are expected to write .Net code) The first interview is a one-to-one. The 2nd interview was with 2 people. I am not a fan of these 'online sandbox'-styled interviews. As a developer, we don't write C# code in Notepad. We use Visual Studio. The idea that one should memorize the API in an intellisense environment is a bit much. I also find that this sandbox-styled interview format tends to limit the type of candidates who will have success (i.e. only candidates who think and work the same). At previous workplaces with strong teams, diverse and disparate thinking was encouraged. You tend to get a better product that way. How one resolved the problem was less important than if someone resolved the problem.
