IBM and the other old guard companies
IBM and the other old guard companies
They have been in business for a very long time and have re-invented themselves repeatedly in order to stay relevant. They are still relevant.
They are also very deep and forward-thinking in terms of technology. They still have one of the cutting-edge semiconductor research capabilities, along with software as well.
No, they aren't always as sexy as the latest Valley social media knockoff startup, but are still, in my mind, as an engineer, pretty solid.
They are a large company, and you do have to spend some time figuring out how to navigate within the organization. Due to their size, they can sometimes be slow. I worry a bit because, like many other tech companies, they undervalue doing development domestically at times and are under pressure to streamline in areas where I think they could be leaders in the long term.

I interviewed for a .Net developer role recently. I had a horrific experience with the interviewer. He had no idea and didn't care about what I was working on. He went on his own rant and asked me some basic questions that seemed irrelevant to someon

In one round, I was the contractor, and they initially placed me in old application maintenance. However, I fought for it and secured some decent development work. In application maintenance, you may learn shell scripting.
Software Developer
Skype Interview. There isn't any on-site coding questions. Most of the questions I get asked are about the things I put on my resume. They also ask questions based on your answers. So, be prepared to be very familiar with your projects.
