Process
Normal, nothing in particular to comment on. Everything went as expected and I have no questions to discuss. The interview was interesting and within expectations. There isn't much more to say.

Cons: - Terrible work-life balance.
- Contractors often treated as second-class citizens (this is coming from the perspective of an FTE).
