Applied online and had an interview with a HR person. Talked about the role and they setup an interview with the IT team.
Spoke to their development team and figured out very quickly that tech here is very old and extremely outdated. Developers have been here for years and are stuck in their ways. Not really moving forward, not learning anything new, nor having any interest in learning anything new. It's not broke, so why fix it type mentality.
Very old school ASP.NET environment. Spoke to them about MicroServices, SOA, Dependency Injection, Angular, React etc and they had no idea what I was talking about. Remember in the olden days when people used to put business logic in the code behind of an ASP.NET page and then copy/paste that same piece of code all over the place? They do that here. Code reuse is alien to them. Don't even get me started on MVC. They didn't even know what it meant, let alone the architecture/technology behind it. Yep, this is what they do. I could go on, but I cut the interview short very quickly.
They bragged about how they used ADO.NET. When I mentioned had they thought about EF.Core (or even EntityFramework)? All I could hear was crickets. To them, consuming a WCF was an enterprise based solution. Asked them about their Agile principles and they had no idea what I was talking about. Totally waterfall environment. They seriously need to replace the CIO/IT Director here.
If you 're offered a job here, don't walk away. Run away as fast as you can. They always seem to be hiring developers too. Not sure if there is a huge turn around of staff here, or they don't think anyone is good enough for their antiquated technology.
