I recently interviewed for a Software Engineer position at [Company Name], and I was very impressed with the entire process.

Phone Screen:
The first interview was a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter. They asked me about my background, my experience with different programming languages, and why I was interested in working at [Company Name]. The recruiter was very friendly and gave me a good overview of the role and the team I would be working with.
