Process
A phone call followed by an onsite interview. The phone interview was simple. There were simple .NET basic questions, followed by questions on the MVC framework.
For the onsite interview, I was told that it was basically a behavioral round, but they asked more on MVC and Angular stuff. I am still not sure why I was rejected.
Questions
Convince the interviewer to use Oracle rather than SQL Server.

Run away
Software Engineer • Current Employee
December 23, 2025
Pros: Mortgage discount for first-time homebuyers.
Cons: They keep changing and cutting benefits, and when announced, phrase it as if it’s better. It’s not, it’s way below standard.
- PTO: they recently cut 1 week from everyone, choosing an increase in 401K matching because they said this is what employees wanted. For those that have been here 5-10 years, you get 5 weeks PTO (sick and vacation combined!). Pray you or your family don’t get sick often or you can say goodbye to your vacation. They’re finding more and more ways to maximize your working time for their own profits. It’s clear they don’t value work/life balance.
- Holidays: they JUST gave the day after Thanksgiving off to “compensate” for the PTO change. Additionally there is no President’s Day, no Christmas Eve (this alone should already tell you a lot), no NYE off.
- Healthcare: when my company got acquired by Rocket, my healthcare cost doubled.
