Hi, there.
After some six months or so of watching my talent and brains go to waste, I may have the opportunity to earn a paycheck again. I have a feeling that I am going to get a job offer that I am not sure I want to take.
The main problem is that I can't find out anything about this corporation or anyone who already works there or has worked there. I interviewed with them last Wednesday, and it's a group with about 50-60 employees. I interviewed with the IT manager, who is also the brother of the founder and owner.
This guy seems okay, but it is obvious that this company is extremely backward. He actually told me that they were using a Win2000 and Win98 workstations as file servers. I'm not even sure if they have an Internet connection. He seemed to think that having the Internet can cause problems.
My hope is that this company has finally realized that they need to hire a technical professional who knows what he is doing. I also hope that I will actually be listened to when I make productive suggestions. It's pretty obvious that they don't seem to value technology much.
I would love to talk to other employees of the company or past employees, but have not been able to find anyone. If offered, should I take it? Or should I just hope to find something else?
If I do take it, I will probably try to make sure that I have some type of easy exit strategy.
