Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Very straightforward if you are coming in as a new college hire. Just have your basic development skills; everything else will be taught once hired. I believe you have to take a test (2 questions), so you might need to revisit:
- Arrays
- Mapping
- For loops
Questions
Loop/Array question. Know your for loops.

Pros: I liked my co-workers. We generally had a good time working together all day. Benefits are excellent.
Cons: It's all about who is right, not what is right. You can find areas of opportunity and be told to do nothing about it until budgets are transferred over. Leaders just seem interested in expanding their fiefdoms and budgets, not on inspiring people and doing good for the company.
