Process
I secured the interview through the University Program.
The interview was very laid back. We discussed former projects listed on my resume.
There were some technical questions, personal questions, and mostly questions about what I want as a career in the future.

Absolutely dreadful, unprofessional team/org. Your mileage may vary with other orgs
Software Engineering Technical Leader • Current Employee

Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.
Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc.
The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.
