I am looking as well, and can afford to be picky.

One small company interviewer was aghast when I asked if they had failed to meet payroll, on time, in the last two years.

Small companies can represent very exciting places to work, but are usually under-capitalized, no shame in admitting it and asking if a potential employee is willing to share the risks and well as rewards. Not for everyone I suppose.

Great question! I'll need to file that one away for my next search.

I'm in a smaller (but growing) company now. Higher stress, but waaaaaaay less bureaucracy. Which, is the big draw from my perspective. I can't stand people that sit and fiddle if there's an issue to be solved. I used to fill out paperwork in 'quintuplicate' (is that a word? Five separate forms to fix a problem, at any rate, plus meetings and emails...). Now, if there's an issue to be fixed, the question is *not* "IS the paperwork filled out properly?" but is "Why haven't you fixed it yet?".

I love it.
