    You'll never get a job there. They just interview people to humiliate them. I've a contact on the inside who told me this. :D

    Yes it is indeed. And because a lot of people will move from other IT jobs it should introduce some liquidity into the job market as people move about. :beer:

    Its all relative though isnt it? And i know quite a few people who've had a good grounding there and moved on to excellent jobs.

    Apart from anything when theres a big recruitment drive by an organisation like this, it does open up the employment market up and maybe increase wages overall.
