Software Engineer I Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
I met a recruiter at the university career fair and was told to apply online as well.
I was contacted online to interview about two to three weeks later. The interview was about 30 minutes, but the interviewer had a heavy accent, so it didn't go that well.

Your mileage may vary with other orgsSoftware Engineering Technical Leader • Current EmployeeRemoteDecember 12, 2022Pros: 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.
