United StatesPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience started with a recruiter who seemed supportive, but the initial description of the role—especially its stated focus on the defense sector—didn’t match what I heard later from the interviewers.

That mismatch immediately made me wary about how solid the role definition was.

Once I got into the interviews, it was hard to pin down the day-to-day responsibilities and scope. Both conversations also started about 10 minutes late, which added to the feeling that logistics and coordination weren’t tight. I also received a survey before I even got feedback or next steps, which felt backward and misaligned with how I expected the process to run.

Overall, it left me with more questions than answers, mainly because the role focus and the real expectations never came into clear alignment
