The other day I got contacted by a manager at the Big River, the online book-and-everything seller, who said my C++/STL/Boost background made me an ideal candidate to work in their office in Cambridge, UK.

Which is flattering and all, but I recall hearing they're a horrible place to work. A cursory search brings up a fair few articles to that effect, but also ones arguing they're not worse than other behemoths like Microsoft, Facebook or Google (mind you, the friends I have at Google are all very happy with them, so they might be an exception).

So I'm curious to hear if any of you have any opinions?
