Yes, I had a friend who interviewed w/them and then moved out to San
Francisco - very happily I might add - but when I was speaking to him
about future job plans or what have you, he said, "Oh, they really
indoctrinate you into the culture here. They're great!"

*shiver*

I don't know if I ever, ever, ever want to be indoctrinated into my
company's "culture". Become aware of, perhaps. Settle into, perhaps. But
indoctrinate? That's just creepy.

To their credit, he did say that they offered him an insane package to
move from GA to CA - not too shabby for a guy just out of college.
