Management was problematic. Politics, infighting, budget constraints – you really had to sales pitch your ideas if you wanted to get anywhere. I spent more time planning how I was going to approach my boss with ideas than I spent coming up with them. They just didn't want new ideas; you had to make your team lead think he was coming up with them himself.
Lots of long hours. Changing direction either took so long it didn't matter, or so quick/late you had to redo a lot of work.
Listen to your team. Prototype things; it will save money over the course of the project.

I had to go through a prescreen. Then, four rounds of interviews followed: * Two were behavioral. * The other two were technical. The entire process took about a month.
For a contract role working on a frontend-focused role, the steps were: 1. Phone screen with recruiter 2. Phone call with tech lead 3. Did a take-home project 4. Zoom call with two engineers. Went over the take-home project and asked to make one
