Technical Behavioral

I had a phone interview where three people on a conference call discussed the company and the project they needed a new hire for. They asked about my past job experience and some Object Oriented Programming concepts, specifically wanting textbook answers for the four principles, even though their desired answers were a bit similar. They also inquired about my framework experience. The in-person interview had the same three people plus the manager. We went over programming principles again and talked more about the project's architecture. I later found out they couldn't hire me because of budget issues.
