Good place for a contractor
Good place for a contractor
I'm a contractor, so don't let my comments or ratings throw you off about American.
It's a pretty good place to work, and many of the people here have been here a long time.
Not a lot of turnover at a senior level.
Good people, good projects, good technologies.
Sometimes it's hard to get things accomplished. You feel like you're producing work in spite of the company. The pay is only fair for employees. They really sell the idea of flight benefits after 10 years.
Be more focused about direction. Select a technology and projects, and work toward them more aggressively.

Simple assessment, then phone call with some managers. The phone call is technical in nature and can have multiple people watching you code as they ask questions. After the phone call, I got called by the recruiter with my offer.
