I was referred by a friend. The response was immediate since they are hiring extensively for engineers.
Initial phone round was with the HR. It was pretty simple. We walked through my resume and then she asked me the difference between inner join and outer join. Before the phone call ended, she told me that they would like me to setup technical phone round with them.
I was being considered for a Dot Net Software Engineer as well as for their bootcamp program.
The interviewer for technical phone interview(30 min) was from Dot Net team. Asked me about my experience with Dot Net, the types of projects that I had worked on. He also asked

2) Whether they support multiple row output
3)What is a temp var and a temp table
4) Where are they stored
5) Explain MVC

The technical phone round happened on a Friday, HR called me back on Sunday and informed me that I had been selected for the onsite interview.
