This interview was for a newly formed department and was conducted among three separate teams across a three hour period. The teams varied from those I would be sharing an office with, to those who would be directing the department. There was a lot of nervous humor about working in an atmosphere that was constantly changing. They weren't joking. A lot of the job (which I accepted) has been "from the hip" for the past two years. Only recently have we begun formalizing our processes.
