The interview I had at Step2 was TREMENDOUS!!!
Verily! They are a big company... a big toy
company. It's in a big beautiful corporate facility.
You walk in to this new steel & glass building
and there's a big ol' reception desk (complete with
receptionist) and big ol' lobby area; and there's
phone's ringing and people in suits walking around
purposefully- all like you'd expect to see in the
building of a big company. But then you look around
and see that there are toys everywhere! SO GODDAM
COOL! I feel like I grew up and became Tom Hanks.
The woman who interviewed me (and would be my boss) was just too nice, and we hit it off immediately. The work is fun! Marketing and labeling and decorating and branding and packaging of toys. You know- for the kids! And not shitty toys either, really nice toys. Did I mention they make toys there? HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!? And they have fun company stuff, like dart tournaments at lunchtime and on-the-job bowling parties. Dental!
It would appear the job is mine if I want it. She told me she has a few more interviews scheduled, but then told me I'd fit in perfectly and we started negotiating salary. So I think I'll get an offer.
The commute is an issue. 40 minutes on the nose with no traffic. However, it is way, WAY out of town- I'd be going the opposite way rush hour traffic goes. Also, there's the kids- gonna have to do a lot of juggling there with my family.
But this place is dreamy. They make toys.
BTW: I'm posting this from Fatburger. My keyboard needs a real good hosing now.
