It was a casual call with the recruiter where we chatted about my background, skills, work history and networking in general. They were pretty open about what the day-to-day would look like and compensation. It was a single phone interview with the recruiter and they were quick to get back to me after I first reached out.

Technical Behavioral
I was sent to Charter by a staffing agency because they needed to hire several contract-to-hire NOC employees due to the Time Warner Merger. The job description required an Associate's or Bachelor's degree and 0-2 years of experience with basic networking knowledge. I had 1 year of experience with an Associate's degree. My interview started with the interviewer commenting on my Associate's degree. He said he would stick to the script to keep it fair, but he was very dismissive and skipped many scripted questions, saying I wouldn't know the answers. He only asked me one technical question.
