Moderately compensated to watch mediocrity
Moderately compensated to watch mediocrity
Decent pay and isolated opportunities.
Very limited career advancement, with a very limited number of openings, and no gradation of employment levels. Everyone is looking to get unicorn positions.
Mediocrity is encouraged, and the culture is a paranoid, PC-minded whack-a-mole game for anyone looking to do good work with a motivated, pre-millennial, can-do attitude. Others in positions higher than me are also miserable for the same reasons, so the misery goes from bottom to top.
There are just too many details to provide here; this is a sad place. Many of the openings are filled with contractors, and most jobs are going to Dallas. Many positions are filled with contract-to-hire, who are then converted to full-time, while full-time employees cannot apply to these jobs.
Get rid of middle management who are obviously collecting paychecks and producing nothing.

Very fast. Mostly, the first round is over the phone. Then, if you are local, they will call you for an in-person or panel interview, which can last up to 30 minutes to an hour.

Quick HR screen call, then a thirty-minute interview over Microsoft Teams with the HR manager and two other engineers. The overall process was smooth and fast. They were very nice; it felt like a conversation.

The first interview was primarily behavioral. Some of the questions were a bit odd; "what does diversity mean to you?" This question doesn't seem quite relevant at this stage in the interview process. Other questions were just technical vocabulary.
