Process
A hiring manager will likely contact me directly and set up a video call.
There will be no behavioral questions, just straight coding questions. They are looking for someone experienced in C, and my skills are not aligned with that.
Questions
Mostly questions on the pointer, global/local variable scope, etc.

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.
