Great work-life balance, lacking on the technology front
Best Buy's environment is ROWE (Results Only Work Environment), so you get your work done, then go home. That could be in 40 hours or 32 hours a week. You could come in at 10 AM and leave at 4 PM, just as long as you're getting your work done and people get what they need from you. Great flexible schedule, smart people, and a great campus.
There are many contractors, so a lot of knowledge and history walk out the door when a project is completed.
Many of the system's Best Buy uses are dated and need improvement.
There is a lack of onboarding here as well for new employees.
Recruit top talent, and once you get them, keep them by level-setting expectations, allowing for creative outlets, and improving .com testing environments, processes, and keeping the businesses in check.

Front-End Developer
About an hour long, the project manager and two of the senior devs sit around a table and ask questions pertaining to your history and experience. The guys are nice, as is the whole HQ. It's a very IT-based company, so know your stuff before you try
Software Developer
I have completed only a portion of the interview process so far, which was a skills test. The skills test was very difficult; they don't expect anybody to finish within the allowed time or to do very well. Next step, I've been told, is an in-person
