falling into my lap

I was cleaning up my email just now and spied a link to an open house at one of the companies across the street! EMC Isilon is a database company and that's about all I know except it has gotten high marks as an employer. Their employees had fun cubicle Christmas decorations (which we could see at night from Ann and Ron's unit).

This open house is Thursday and for recruiting. It's pretty clear that they are looking for database technical professionals. I sure ain't that but hey, those data base dudes might need someone to make coffee or talk to HQ or staff the front desk.

So... yep... I'm going. They will have drinks and food and I will get to hear what they do. And it's free. I filled out their RSVP and sent them my resume. Why not? The commute would be doable.

Thanks!

Actually, they're a storage server company -- they don't really care what you put on it :)

Across the street? I could do that!

It's an interesting place. I spoke with several engineers there recently. They have amazing hardware for sale (as qnetter said, they do storage) that I very much wish I had the budget to buy. By all reports Isillon was a great company to work for but with the purchase by EMC things probably will change into a Very Large Company mindset over the next few years. Still, could be fun for a short-term gig.

Sounds interesting and fun. Good luck at the Open House.
