The leadership team is well connected to industry leaders, making it more likely the company will enjoy some success. The technology stack, though cumbersome and flawed, is better than competitive solutions. Enterprise software is not on the cutting edge.
In order to work on anything remotely interesting or have any idea taken seriously, you have to be vetted by old timers (the trusted lieutenants, the capo-regime). If you aren't, then you will be digging ditches and carrying out the garbage (don't worry, there's a lot of it). Being vetted is inversely proportional to your critical thinking skills.
Your ideas are either a) not good OR b) not your ideas. It will take some time to convince you of this fact, but rest assured, you will be convinced.
The company has strategically decided not to invest in growing/mentoring senior software developers. If you are junior, you will have a path forward. If you are a vetted senior (i.e., principal), you can proceed in any which way you like. Good ideas/work are rewarded; bad ideas/poor decisions are washed clean of your name.

I had a preliminary interview at my college. During this interview, I was asked a question about how to find two numbers that summed up to an input number given an unsorted array of numbers. After passing that, I got to spend some time talking to the
HR calls you. Then, after that, they set you up with a manager interview. If you pass that, then another manager interview, and lastly, a panel interview. Most of the questions were behavioral and technical.
The technically challenging and good set of questions attracted me to the company. The people I interviewed with were pretty strong as well, and seeing their questions, I was already impressed. I showed my inquisitiveness to learn what they look for
