Process
The interview process was pretty smooth, including both the phone screen and on-site interviews.
The questions were of medium difficulty, and nothing was unexpected.
The interviewers were encouraging and helpful.
I heard back pretty soon after the interviews, as I had a deadline approaching.

Pros: Engineers are creators, and software engineers create unique software that is used by many. If you become a professional software engineer, you will feel happy each time you see your software working.
Cons: If you don’t learn new technology, you will not be able to progress an inch in your career.
So, there is a high possibility of staying stuck in the same position for years.
