A recruiter who saw my resume posted on the web called me and arranged a 30 minute phone interview - general C++, Unix, network programming questions were asked - most were basic knowledge about structure of classes, members of a class, inheritance, how virtual functions work, some about how networked client server systems are programmed, some about SQL, a few about shell scripting. I think most answers I gave were correct , about two weeks later I received a call from the recruiter saying the position had been put on hold.

I was asked about my previous work experience. I talked about things I had worked with in my 20 years of experience and was then accused of cheating and lying. The interview ended after several minutes. A horrible experience. The worst interview of my life.
