>My last job, for nine months, was with a company which used agile/scrum. It was sort of thrust upon us from above and I don't think we were doing it right. We did work in short cycles of 2-4 weeks but it was more a matter of dropping things to hit the deadline than the other way around. It was a fairly traditional arrangement in which our manager was the scrum master, conducted daily meetings, etc.

Actually, it might be beneficial to talk about the challenges. I've found I'd rather work with people who know how to NOT do it, as much as people who think they DO know how to do it. Not globally, of course.
