I applied and interviewed for an Angular position a few years ago. I was interviewed by a consultant doing work for the company while they built up their engineering team. He absolutely grilled me about .NET intricacies, including some of my favorites, "Where is the .NET GAC stored on the filesystem?" and "Why is n-tier better than MVC?".

Not surprising, they declined to move forward citing my inexperience working with .NET enterprise architecture. I could have told you them that from beginning and saved everyone a few hours.

.net + angular seems to be popular around here and I've been on the other side of that, knowing .net but rejected for not knowing angular (but plenty of experience with other frameworks).

The only time I've received real feedback was for a ruby job with a small project interview. Apparently I wasn't doing TDD because the tests and fixes were in the same commit. At least that kind of feedback let's you know you've dodged a bullet.
