Benefits!
Vacation: A new hire immediately gets a vacation bank of 80 hours of vacation, 40 hours of floating time, and 80 hours of family health (sick, bereavement, etc.) without needing to accrue. Every year of service grants you more vacation days. With 5 years of service, I have over 200 hours of vacation.

Flexible Work Schedules: I have worked remotely (VPN, mobile VPN) out of town.

Two technical rounds with questions on UNIX/SHELL and Python basics, mostly based on REGEX, were asked. The process took two days. Both rounds were technical, with no resume walkthrough. Some Unix commands like grep and ls -ltr were covered.
