First of all, they were desperate. I went to a job fair and after talking to one developer for 15 minutes, I left as it was the end of the day. I received a phone call from the hiring manager within 10 minutes and was told I had the job. Then I was passed to someone else for salary negotiations.
The lady in charge of hiring had no real knowledge of the position or the contract and could could not answer any questions about the benefits. They finally let me talk to someone in human resources to find out more about the health benefits.
The whole process was the most unorganized mess I have ever seen. The company is so large that no one has more than a bit of information. The amount of people and phone calls I had to go through to get what I consider basic information about the position and benefits were unbelievable. So bad, that I almost did not take the position.
I will say that the people that have been interviewed since I came on, undergo a bit more intense interview process, but not much more... The positions they are looking for on my site are hard to fill, so they are not being super picky.
Also, had to take a drug test and an extremely lengthy application that took me days to fill out. They run an intensive background and credit check, do not lie or leave out information on the application. You have to list everything, inlcuding places you may have only lived for a few months. The whole process was exhausting.
