Griffin Interview

Today I interviewed with Griffin Analytical.  It was from 8:45am to 2:00pm.  I met with lots of different people, including the CEO, scientists, engineers, HR, etc.  Overall, I thought that it went very well.  Having never been to their campus, I was pretty impressed with their setup.  It definitely has less of a small startup company feel than Prosolia.  In fact, they have something like 45 employees.

The work would really line up with my interests very well, and I am excited about the possibility of working there.  The one possible downside is that they require salaried employees (which I would be) to work 50 hours a week plus "occassional" weekends.  So, if I wanted to leave at 5:00pm each day, I would have to arrive at 6:00am (with a one hour lunch).  That would be a little rough.  However, I think that I could do it for a job that I loved.

We'll see how it goes.  I still don't have an official offer from either Griffin or Prosolia, but from the sound of things, I think that both will probably offer me a job of some type.  Then it will come down to personal decisions that have to be made by me and Lindsay.  I will try to keep this blog updated as we go.  Thanks for your prayers.
