I've been going for lots of job interviews lately, and not talking about it - so that I don't jinx anything - but one thing I did want to briefly touch on was the names of their meeting rooms.


The firms I've been having interviews with all have themed meeting room names, which are quite fun. (I work for the government. Fun is not applicable here. We work in a non-themed environment, and it is extremely boring.)

My favourites so far:

- a font theme, with "The Helvetica Room" and "The Arial Room" and so on, all given signs in their respective fonts

- a sci-fi locations theme, with "Tardis", "Roswell", and probably many others that I didn't get a chance to see


One day, when I own my own business, I'm going to name the meeting rooms after characters - "the Esme Weatherwax room", "the Tuppence Cowley room", "the Amelia Pond room" - and see how many people notice.

At Big Customer, every building and floor has a completely different theme for its meeting rooms so that you can quickly tell where in the campus the room is without having to remember a bunch of numbers. The four floors in our building have rooms named after exotic fruit, movie directors, Egypt, and Asterix characters :)
