Still a great place to work, 15 years on! (we have a very low staff turnover which is a good sign). 200 people when I started, now employing close to 1,500.

Put it this way, my boss sits on the board of the company (he is a founding member) - there is no-one else inbetween which is really, really sweet (he's a techie too which is even better!).

Steve S17-Feb-04 22:09 Steve S 17-Feb-04 22:09  My shortest spell was 1 day. Actually, it was a morning. I stayed the rest of the day explaining why I wasn't going to be staying any longer. My longest was around three years, unless you count working for my own company, which was around 8. Doesn't sound too bad until you know how long I've been working as a developer (20 yrs). These youngsters today, with their visual debuggers, multiple monitors, and namby-pamby language features like buffer overrun detection don't know they're born. In my day you could work out what was going wrong by looking at the lights on the front panel. If you were really good, you could enter the bootstrap code on the switches at the front without referring to a crib sheet. Hey, where did the 1980's go... Steve S
