Anyone have a little patience to lend to me?

Well, I just got off of the phone with my recruiter at best place to work.  Apparently I got rave reviews from the team I VC'ed with for the last two weeks, but they are still looking at other candidates.  She was worried that they would take too long, so she went ahead and submitted me for a post a little bit out of my league (someone with my amount of experience would normally support Directors, but this is for supporting two VP's).  Apparently I will be able to use my creativity, and my art and PR backgrounds a little bit in this post... not to mention having VP's at this company as my mentors will serve me incredibly well when it comes time for promotions.  So, more video conferencing is in my future!

I've always worked in very small offices, and the only times I worked somewhere with  more than 20 employees were in retail/warehouse settings.  The beauty of this large corporation is that they apparently have decided they want to find a place for me, and there are enough spots that we all can keep trying until a perfect fit is found.  I've always been against working somewhere with 10,000+ (15,000+?) employees, but since it's 'best place to work' somehow it seems okay.

My 'in' at the company warned me about a ridiculously long recruitment period.  As of now it's pushing four months.  Thank goodness for the serenity that my sun salutations grant me!

p.s. I have a sneaking suspicion you've all figured out what 'best place to work' actually is...
