Interview
Phone interviews with member of the team, asked to describe experience with similar systems as well as troubleshooting of the system. Started off relatively easy, but we quickly got into the specifics of technical decisions. The nature of the conversation was more curiosity and trying to understand how your head works than it was being grilled on the subject.
