When I went in for my interview, they wanted to know why I was leaving my current job. There were no questions about my skills. NPL hires as a contractor for Southwest Gas. This sounds ok, but there's no communication between SWG and what you're doing there as a consultant and NPL, who is responsible for your raises. There are no reviews to speak of. As an aside, after I was hired, I was not doing the job that was on paper that I applied for. If these things are important to you, ask the questions. I took for granted that they would have me doing the job that was on my job description.
