I received an invitation for a phone interview and the recruiter specifically mentioned that it will be in depth technical interview. Guess what happened when I got the call? Typical behavioural questions that were read from the paper. The fist question was to tell about yourself where I was interrupted after 20 seconds and asked how would you show this and that quality related to leadership principles. The interviewer did not bother relating the questions to my experience and it felt like they were going through the checklist without understanding who they are talking to. Once all the questions were done I was left with 15 minutes and asked a coding question that would take some time. I did not do that well and when I left with 1 minute I finally had a chance to ask questions. The answers seemed evasive and just very generic without any specifics. Through the talk I felt like I was talking to a zombie or a robot. I understand that Engineers are not most talkative people, but I would expect at least some sort of emotions in responses. I specifically tried to brake the ice, but the interviewer ignored everything. You can imagine when you are giving a talk about something you are passionate that people would have a certain reaction (it was related to the applied position).
