Process
The interviewer asked about web security and databases.
They went through my resume and asked specific details about each skill, project, and class.
It didn't go super well, as they were asking questions more appropriate for new graduates.
They asked one data structures question, which was similar to LeetCode easy interview questions.

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.
