Interview was pretty much very formal. He asked about my previous work experience. Why I would like to work at Comcast and How will it benefit my career goals. He also provided an overview about the job role.And later he said he will get back after contacting the hiring manager. He also asked few basic networking questions. In the nutshell, it was very interactive and the recruiter was very fun to talk. I am still waiting for a feedback from the HR.
