I had a phone interview. They mainly asked about my CS background and several behavioral questions. After I answered each question, the interviewer always asked what I learned from that situation that I talked about. I will have an in-person interview soon.

Pros: Good work-life balance.
Good benefits.
Kind coworkers (probably team dependent).
Cons: I've enjoyed my time at the company, but I and colleagues have unfortunately found that to move forward in your career, GM ultimately forces you to go elsewhere.
It's hard to progress as management tends to dangle carrots on sticks just to pull them away. It's the classic case in tech where the upward path is to leave and then come back at a higher position and salary.
By staying, you'll unfortunately find that you can move to higher positions and take on different roles and additional tasks/responsibilities, but without increasing in level or salary.

Pros: Relaxed work environment, unlimited PTO, 15-20 vacation days plus the 15ish they give us.
Super lenient on work hours and will pay for relocation if needed.
Cons: Pay is on the lower end for software engineers. They are also very strict in promotions--you almost have to be 35 to be a manager or lead. There's a ton of red tape for no reason. Some weeks I will literally only have 3 hours of work to do.
