Process
There were two interviews on campus, both behavioral.
The first was 30 minutes long and they asked me three questions.
On the same day, they sent out an email to schedule the second interview for the next day.
The second interview was around 60 minutes long and they asked me a series of 5-6 behavioral questions.
I received an offer letter a few weeks later.

Learn, But Abused By Managers
Software Developer • Current Employee

September 7, 2015
Pros: Lots to learn and do, which means job security if you're concerned about that.
Cons: This is definitely not a good place to work. But the thing I hate the most about this place is how managers use your personal life as ammo against you.
Are you from a working-class family? Well, then you can have the worst job in here, because it's still better than anything your parents had, right?
Do you have lots of student loans? Then you won't mind working this weekend, because you need that bonus, right?
I can't wait to get out of this dump.

A good place to start, but not a place to stay
Software Developer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
February 15, 2015
Pros: Relatively easy to get the job offer.
Good work-life balance.
Good mentorship (at least in my team).
I'm lucky that my team members were really helpful when I just started. When I had questions, I could always find the right people to ask, and it worked well. Also, my manager is really nice and cares about my growth.
Cons: Low starting salary.
Lots of red tape.
Bullying new hires.
You need to know how to deal with people like a politician to survive. Experienced employees like bullying and stabbing others (especially new hires) in the back. Technical skill is less important than communication skill. Your performance is evaluated by whom you know, not what you know.
Starting salary is the same for all new hires regardless of their background, and it's below the average. No matter if you are a CS major or business major, the salary is all the same for software developers.
