Lots of jobs and lots of opportunities.

I worked on enhancements to a Notes application used worldwide. It was interesting and gave me a global outlook rather then a local one.

1 day interview with 3 folks. By the time the interview was finished, I was offered the job. It was great to be done in one day.

Working in an international department exposed me to folks from around the globe, the travel and the flexibility.
