I interviewed at The Sanborn Map Company (Colorado Springs, CO)
Interview
Quick and simple interview process from initial interaction to hiring. Nothing extraordinary. Softball questions about experience and capabilities. Casual and relaxed interview. If you are comfortable in small aircraft and have basic computer skills you can get this job.

Question 1
Are you comfortable in small aircraft for extended periods of time?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Sanborn Map Company in Sept 2021
Interview
Easy and very relaxed. They really want to know about you and your passions for GIS. They work mostly with local governments and private companies. They have several options to get into the GIS industry as well including LiDAR and consulting.
Pretty straightforward interview, but they asked me about salary very early in the process before I was prepared to negotiate. They also made it seem like I needed to start right away so I moved mountains to move across the country within 2 weeks and then they had miscommunicated with the Forest Service about my start date and nobody was expecting me for another week. Not a great first impression and it only got worse from there.
