They're undergoing a massive amount of change to become more in line with VJ Europe, time will tell what that looks like.
Finally, some good updated information on Vista.. I’m sure that they will create a profile on APC soon so that you won’t keep getting hammered with questions all the time..

Thanks Cosmo.

I'm new to the Forum. Seriously hoping my first post doesn't seem trivial/irrelevant. I have an on-site interview in Fort Lauderdale. Wondering if there might be any insight on the company's position on facial hair. Want to put my best foot forward.

Clean shave and a not so long ago haircut would be best

I've had a beard for years (last 135 allowed it) however, went into this interview with a fresh clean shave that morning. When it came to small talk on interview day it was brought up and they wanted to see the pics of before. We laughed and joked but it was stated "glad to see you were willing to shave all that for interview." I was offered the position a week later.

XOAV got a substantial raise. VJ guys got nothing. I’d imagine there are lots of resumes getting polished up right about now on the VJ side
