Anything and everything. Dress is very casual, with those people who are more customer facing (marketing, execs) wearing business casual. NO ONE wears a tie, unless they're a newbie on an interview.

Pretty good, though I'm in software so things move faster than other areas. Typically, a technical person such as myself can choose to advance through the technical ranks to become a corporation-wide specialist in his or her area, or they can jump into supervisory/managerial positions.

Typically, it's a multi-person interview, one-on-one, typically with 4 people from different parts of the group. Usually, the interviews either start or end with a manager, and two to three technical people.

After the candidate has left, the folks get together and debrief. In my group one 'NO HIRE' means the guy or gal is out. No questions asked. I'd much prefer not hiring someone to hiring bad candidates....

1) The people are great. Stable, understanding folks who don't care much for bureaucracy.
2) The Central Kentucky area is a beautiful place to live, recreate, and raise a family
3) Things constantly change. Things have the feel of a much smaller company (especially in the software arm), and we're not under the corporate thumb very much...
