Process
The entire day was dedicated to the interview process, which included orientation, a behavioral round, and a technical interview round. Unfortunately, the technical interview did not go well. The interviewer appeared unaware of the role he was interviewing for and asked questions solely related to his own field, with no questions pertaining to the software role.
Questions
Practice basic CN concepts and behavioral questions.

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.
