Process
The technical interviews focused on my resume and projects. I had applied for a Full Stack role, so we also had a code walkthrough of existing code.
The behavioral interviews focused on how I would manage conflicts and were to judge if I am a team player.

Pros: Good immediate manager. I also like my team.
Cons: Ancient tech, paper-pushing bureaucracy. The environments are a disaster and expect 3-4 hours a day of 'discussions' and 'sync ups,' which rarely achieve anything. Discover is no different to any other faceless corp where the C-suite makes more in a year than you will in a career. I have seen so much corporate cuckold behavior that I get physically sick.
