Opportunities to own projects and to shine.
No obligation to work long hours.
Technically interesting work.
Extra unwritten required skill: emotional intelligence.
Teamwork skills are lacking in staff.
Long-serving staff have little experience working in other workplaces.
Emotion, rather than reason, gets you heard.
You must watch your back.
Offshoring is on the increase.
Respect and listen to your colleagues, especially when they are experienced (which you have seen on their CVs!). Look at the facts, not the emotions.

The whole process took around 1 month, I think. Once I started the interviews, it went pretty fast. Two technical interviews, including questions about imaging, like how to blur an image, etc. Then an HR interview just to know you.
Talked with hiring managers, and they wanted more security+ experience rather than QA automation. Also, they were willing to allow time to get a security clearance. Nice people. Had an interview over Teams with two people, and it was very nice.
