It's just amazing...

That a company culture can become so interbred that the only way to get a job is to all ready know someone who works there. But because of this, there is little diversity in the corporate gene pool. Just think of the British Royal Family back in the day — yeah, they ruled over one of the most powerful empires of its time, but half of them were hemophiliacs.

There is a running joke that floats around the craft that there are two kinds of designers in the world, those who work and those work at a coffee houses.

But it is still better then being a MS designer, at least the ones at the coffee shop still have a chance of getting a gig in the real-world.
