Today's interview at Tekelec in Morrisville went pretty well, I think, despite the headaches involved in getting it scheduled and getting to and from it. I think I presented well, though I don't expect to get the job, because I'm pretty certain they're looking for more object perl experience than I have. (I'm not writing it off, but I'm not holding my breath either.) I'm mentally filing it under "good practice".
Tekelec is way bigger than I expected. Man, these guys are huge. I totally did not get a feel from their website of how big a company it is. And judging by my impressions, probably a pretty good place to work.
