I was an engineer at TMG. One of those that go to work do whatever is needed (even if it takes 12 hrs a day or more) and go home without looking at politics or care if my fellow earns a few bucks more or less than me.
I saw many good people leaving during ACT. That maid me think about the company,and how happy was working there. Somehow I applied for a couple of places thinking that all companies should look similar. During the interviews though, something was strange. It seemed that interviewers were treating me strange, I would say like a human being. Like asking what I did over the weekend, how old are my kids...strange questions indeed. I took one of the offers earlier this year. The strange event kept happening, they welcomed me with cookies and baloons in my office, each person presented himsellf on the meetings, I was even doing enginering development work. Maybe I was/am lucky. Who knows? Certainly there are other places, mainly these days where to work.
Enjoy your carreer!
