BarcoView Posted February 25, 2005 at 11:18 am

I showed up bright and early at 8:30 AM yesterday for a round of interviews at BarcoView, the Duluth branch of international display and visualization expert Barco. The tour started the HR representative, who asked me a brief set of questions and then filled me in on the company’s history and benefits package. Next, I met my potential boss and he asked me a few more questions and then filled me in on what his group does, which is primarily to do build-to-order work for speciality markets like military, avionics, and medical devices. After that, I met with a couple more Barco employees who were also Georgia Tech alumni and we discussed the kind of work they did and various trends in technology. Quite honestly, it felt more like a tour than an interview. Finally, I really did get a tour of the facilities with my would-be supervisor where I got to see some neat stuff like the assembly floor, the QA department, and a high-resolution display prototype (one of only two in the world). I felt like the visit went quite well and everyone I met was nice and personable.
