I had a few offers and one from Clemson came in last. Living in the Upstate of SC, working for Clemson seemed like a great opportunity. I declined my other offers and picked Clemson even though it was not the most lucrative of my offers. I put in my two weeks notice at my current employer and committed to Clemson. Clemson rescinded its offer a week later due to "lack of funding" and "leadership change". I will forever regret committing to work for Clemson. I would warn anyone in IT to be very wary about accepting a position at Clemson.

There were two panel interviews. The first had three people who seemed like my peers, and the second had a supervisor and one of his peers. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed, though I got the vibe they were all a bit cocky, like they thought they were the best. After the interview, one of the guys on the panel kept bringing up his recommendation for me, acting like I owed him something.

The interview process feels really bureaucratic, like how most state agency things are. Each department does things a little differently, but they all have to follow the same rules. It's sometimes annoying because the people asking questions might not even know the answers themselves.
