You have already heard from Brendan by now, as he reached out to all of our QA and Data candidates again right after your post. (You had originally posted this review as QA, but I see now that you have updated to DE.) I'm going to take a stab at what happened in your interview with Andy: this role is in our PS department doing custom dev for clients, and Andy uncovered through your conversation that core dev is more aligned with your interests/skillset. As far as salary, we do pay competitive bases for our entry-level roles, and accelerate based on performance; not unlike many other companies. It sounds like we had a few communication misses, and I'm sorry that it turned into such a negative experience.
