First Impressions of RM
My first day at work for RM. Their office is located at Suntec City, Tower 1 at #17-02. I had previously been there for interviews, but was cooped up in their claustrophobic meeting room.
The layout was cramped. There were two rooms - one for the CEO, and the other for the finance / administrator. Connecting these two rooms to the waiting area was a corridor with cubicles lined along its side. I was allocated a tiny niche by the corner, with two servers underneath the next and a flickering 14 inch monitor in front of my nose. I did not spend much time in that seat, but I can’t imagine how I’d be comfortable working there for long.
NN and AS arranged sessions for me and SL the whole day. It was a good way of inducting us into the application suite, but I felt I had covered much of the ground during my interviews, albeit with more depth today. They discussed about product positioning, scenarios, strategies… good stuff.
Tomorrow will start with an 8 a.m. conference call in the morning. Ouch - that’s an early call.
There’s much I’d like to change, but I’ve resolved to grit my teeth until the first two weeks have passed. Its mostly the environment, but I’ll need to feel out NN before asking for any changes.
