Well, no news yet, but the experience itself was rather strange.
I should have known when there was a children's basketball net set up in the waiting room. After filling out a form and waiting a good while, I was finally seen. To "start off" the interview, we played a game of darts... no joke. I guess they were wanting to stress a fun working environment and put us at ease. Then the actual interview took place, which went okay. I screwed up on a few points, but nothing major. The interviewer said later that it had went well, but nothing could be decided because they still had lots of people to interview... I suspect it was just a way of letting me down easily, but I tend to be paranoid about stuff like that. He didn't mention anything I could have done better apart from stress, though, so maybe that's a good sign.
So now I wait. On the bright side, I couldn't have asked for a better setting for a first interview. And if I do end up getting the job, it seems like a really good place to work; laid back but not to the point of being unprofessional. (I remember once asking for a job application somewhere and seeing a supervisor yell at the employee for not knowing where it was... right in front of people! Needless to say that application never got filled.)
