Good people, normal questions you'd expect from an interview, nothing really out of left field. More words here to make 30 I guess. Nothing remarkable. Words words words words words words
I applied online. I interviewed at Saalex (Patuxent River, MD) in Aug 2022
Interview
Very open and easy going! Multiple individuals in the process who all contributed toward a very smooth and easily understood process. Prior to the interview itself, there is a quick screening interview that took place
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Saalex in Nov 2022
Interview
I was misled as the content of the interview was wildly different from what I was told it was going to be. In addition, the job description given to me was wildly different so the interviewers took it upon themselves to make me feel as badly as humanly possible. The interview itself was abusive. I was interrogated about each of my jobs and was rapid-fire quizzed by the condescending and unpleasant lead dev. He talked down to me in a tone that was very much like the receptionist from the early 90's movie "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter is Dead". It was unreal. I also wanted to mention that I am a veteran. This is relevant because their clients are the government which consists of active duty military personnel *and* veterans. Just because some civilian watched "Full Metal Jacket" once does not mean that veterans like to be verbally abused and spoken to like they're subhuman. It's just a movie, seriously. I was treated like trash because they think veterans are trash. I would highly encourage their customers(active duty military and vets from the DOD) to reconsider doing business with them.
