Today’s post is written with a strange mix of sadness and excitement. An odd combination to be sure. Sadness because this will be my last week with my current employer. I’ve enjoyed my time here and met some wonderful people that I will miss working with. At the same time I’m crazy excited to start a new gig. A new gig without VB.NET.
I have been enjoying life at my new company for over a month now. The single biggest difference between all my previous employers is the size of this company. They have nearly 500 employees and four buildings (including the 18.5K sqft building I work in). In fact they have more programmers here than my previous company had employees. Keeping good communication and organization between this many people is a challenge. To that end (at least for the development department) they have introduced a mandated, daily stand-up meeting: the daily scrum.
I sat in a room at a large, solid-wood round table looking across as four individuals drilled me with technical questions. As you may expect this was a bit intimidating. But this certainly was not my first time in a technical interview.
