Process
Fairly straightforward. Interviewers are calm and helpful.
They'll take you through the entire process and ask fundamental questions to test your working knowledge.
The first round was the technical interview, and the second round was directly with the manager guiding the team.

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.
