Decent cubicles. Work from home 1 day a week, usually. Good technology stack to work with. Solid QA organization and deployment organization.
High turnover of contractors and employees. Frequent reorganizations. Sweatshop environment, which contributed to several heart attacks and one death in a department/team. Poor documentation of production systems.
Better separation between production support and development teams.
Adopt more modern development processes, such as Agile.
Very simple, I was in the field for 12 years and they needed someone with my experience. The manager knew of my work and work ethics.
The recruiter arranged for the first interview with the manager, who gave me a quick screen. The second interview was a technical interview related to programming and scripting, like Python, Bash, etc. The third interview was on HPOO, HPSA, WebLogic,
Good in-person interview with a group or panel of three people. The interview was technical. The questions were basically around my overall experience working with different Java technologies.
