My Review 

Horrible interface and poor communication with candidates. You'll get a vague email saying you were "best qualified" and then a couple weeks later are told that you were not selected because you are not a veteran. That's not what they say, but that's how it works.

Veterans get this automatic 5 or 10 point bonus, so if you're a non-veteran and you have a 93, a veteran with an 85 will be selected over you.

This place is a joke!

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
