For a previous company I attended a two day session which included one interview, a raft of tests to make sure I was not an axe wielding murderer. In addition we got to meet people from all levels of the company. We had to prepare a presentation as well. All of this meant that we had more than a brief glimpse of the other side. This cuts both ways if you dont like them better to find out before you leave your old job.

I have had a couple of jobs in the UK with probationary periods. None of them ended up in me leaving. In fact nobody ever took any notice of the probationary period. I guess it could be very different if some companies wanted to be funny.

Next interview I want to get a good feel for the place I will be working in. You spend so much time there and its so important its got to be right.

Ells.
