i’m not sure what the question is here. are you more concerned about the interim testing deadline or about not being introduced to the client? and in either case, what’s your specific. worry?

there might not be much work to do at interim? all depends on the client and the nature of their business. i’ve had clients at times who we only ever thought about for a couple weeks a year at planning season and then after they closed the books.

i’ve also had clients i never met, who i only communicated with by email — and who only wanted one point of contact so other members of the team weren’t even introduced to them virtually, etc.

none of this sounds like such a call for alarm.

Interim testing doesn’t really have a deadline.. there is no deliverable other than partially complete work papers. Get done what you can with the time you have

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
