Hey guys, 

I'm prepping for a phone interview as if I never had the first one. 

**Background:**

Awhile ago I applied to a job and received a phone and in person interview. After a few months I was told they wanted to give me a job but couldn't at that time. Turns out they were being purchased. I was told if they were bought out they would want to hire me (and some others). It took a long time for the deal to go through but it did. Now I was put in touch with the parent company's HR. I had to submit my resume to their site as a formality and I would be offered a phone interview and possibly in person interviews (more than one interview or one interview with multiple people was never stated). I was allowed to schedule the phone interview. The only times available were this Monday and Tuesday as they want to get things going fast.

Since I already interview with the first company and was told they wanted to offer me a position, what do you think the parent company will do interview wise? Am I starting off back at square one? Or will this be closer to just meeting me and seeing if I can fit in with their company? 

The parent company is much larger and is not (as far as I know) having a significant say in how the first company operates. They still have their own name and goals (they are a unique part of the parent company and not a ton of places do what they do) but have been merged with the parent.
