  • Makes me want to work there!

    Ok, it can be a bit geeky, but this is an interesting look at business through the eyes of a company who sees and does things a bit differently. They have a refreshingly energetic viewpoint and never forget the human aspect. And I wish I had the brains and skills to work there! They seem, er, awesome!
