The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Parsons Corporation (Newport News, VA)
Interview
Was reached out to by a recruiter and was offered a few job titles that I could fill. Had two more follow ups and a reschedule before the technical phone interviews.
Interview was split into two portions, live coding and general questions. I wasn’t told there would be coding so I wasn’t in the best place or mindset
For the first portion. I had to talk to on the phone while borrowing someone’s laptop to use an online notepad. I was so frazzled that I had a hard time thinking about the problem.
The next stage was better, but overall both interviewers sounded like they did not care and did not want to be on the call, one of them sounded like they were eating or doing something else besides taking notes.
I never bothered to fill out the security forms so I’m assuming that’s why they didn’t move forward along with my bad first stage.

I interviewed at Parsons Corporation (Aberdeen, MD)
Interview
The interview consisted of an initial phone screening with the recruiter and two interviews. One with the manager and the other with the manager and team lead. Both were fairly casual and discussion-based, just getting to know one another. Not many technical questions.
Very short and direct. First “round” was with recruiter who seemed slightly knowledgeable on the technologies. The next interview was with my manager, 2 PMs, and a senior engineer. No whiteboarding, simply asked what technologies I’ve worked with and was asked to show projects that implemented these technologies
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Parsons Corporation (Huntsville, AL) in Feb 2022
Interview
20 min phone call with HR to see if a good fit for the company and briefly going over resume. Then scheduled a second interview with the potential future team a week later that lasted for 45 min.
Only 2/3 members showed up, the project lead did not show. No sense of direction with the interview with long silences of waiting for the next question.
Interview consisted of going over class projects on resume focusing on reasoning behind decisions, asking if I had experience in certain areas, and a technical design question (without a white board, only verbal).
If you were given a serial port that has either ascii or binary data for a camera button, gimble, etc, you need a web page that displays the information for each object and allow a user to send a command in the objects desired data type (each is different). It is not safe to assume that the serial port with not have any interference with the data being sent and received.
We want specific classes and implementation. (all verbal)
