Well, its my first day at Aggreko, and I am loving their efficiency...I was handed a laptop uplon entering the office, and they had my login ready :)

This is the first company that I have worked for that could get this right...

My first job is researching and deploying Sharepoint, which I will need to come up with a plan for...

Hmm, I think I blogged about that recently...

They already have a wicked farm setup, but with nothing on it. And there are masses of propriatory workflow and applciations to migrate...Thisis not a small job.

Hi Martin,

Don’t be silly that they handed you a laptop and your login ready upon your arrival.
That’s understood they have to supply you something to start work with, overall they are paying you.

Best of luck,
John

Martin,

I've worked at Aggreko for two years in N.A. Good luck finding good things. Hopefully it's better in the UK.

I have a 2nd interview at Aggreko on Friday - here in the states - Do you still love the company? It would be over an hour drive for me if I get it and I'm not sure I want to drive that far!!!!
Cheers!
Lauri
