Benefits are pretty great. It has an open work culture. There are lots of competent developers, either still growing or mentoring. There are plenty of hackathons and opportunities for members of different teams across the org to share knowledge. There are also plenty of informative sessions on campus. OrangeMethod is pretty awesome.
Some teams are a little resistant to work with each other. Politics can sometimes get in the way of work, but it’s mostly not a problem.
People have misgivings about pair programming, and some can be sticklers about embracing pure TDD, which can sometimes stagnate progress.
I worked with a lot of talented people, but most of them were contractors and weren’t there for long before getting a new face to bring up to speed all over again. They’ve been converting more and more contractors to full-time, so hopefully that’ll change.
Incentivize teams to work together.
Seek mid- to long-term commitments with associates.
Communicate the need to follow procedures, but also allow some elbow room.

Started with a phone screen asking about prior experience and combing through the resume. Then invited onsite for a group setting interview. This involved a code challenge and a system design challenge. Given an offer about a week later.

Easy going, a couple of rounds. A few technical, a few behavioral questions. They wanted to know a lot about your thought process and how you would tackle a problem. They also wanted to know your working style and what works best for you.

We had team-based activities where we looked at some code to decipher what it did, and then had some group question-and-answer interviews asking about our preferences, hobbies, and other similar subjects.
