Most questions were around my experience with different technologies and solutions I implemented in the past. This was a group interview with two senior level IT staff. They are knowledgeable in the field and this was apparent from the questions asked. They were also quite friendly. At the conclusion of the interview I asked them what they liked best and least about working here. Both gave the same answer: BEST was working with a variety of technology, the opportunity to learn new technology, and always having lots of projects in the queue;WORST: the number of project in the queue.
