Entrevista
Applied online, heard back from an Amentum recruiter within 2 weeks with additional questions. I was scheduled for a Teams call which turned into a Google Meet because the panel couldn't access the Teams call. The call had standard behavioral questions. The panel was pleasant but aggressively honest with information. There are no mid-level positions. People work for MacFadden, an Amentum company (as it was constantly referred to, so they must be required to say the full name) for 2-3 years then find employment with partner companies. You need a background check so don't expect to work for several months. Nothing shocking, nice to see people being honest, just the way it was reiterated gave "red flag" vibes. The contract with the government is under review, but they won't fire 300+ employees (hahaha - nervous laughter from the panel or joke in poor taste?) In the end, got ghosted. No offer, no rejection, no response to my questions after the interview.

Was contacted by the HR rep pretty quickly. Bizarrely, he offered that he had a sleeping disorder and was often disoriented. Did a Zoom call with a team of people, who I am positive were chatting online about me, which was fine and things went well. A couple of weeks later the HR guy reached out and said they wanted me to do a writing assignment, which he went over in some detail. It was basically a week's worth of work, and I had 24hrs to do it. I didn't have the time (and thought it was excessive) and had to decline.
