Behavioral Technical

It was a standard panel interview with behavioral questions. I got the vibe that there's a disconnect between upper management and the engineers, and that management only knows buzzwords without understanding them. For instance, I was told their software developers individually design full systems from scratch every sprint, which isn't realistic. However, the engineers and developers themselves seemed like great people to work with.
