Oops - should re-phrase the question: what are they like to work for? Pain in the backside or good? An agency is trying to get me to do some work for a Chinese company and they have already admitted that they "have their quirks"!! Just wondered what that meant!!

A bit. They were amazingly superstitious: if you wore an unlucky colour (can't remember what they are: red's a good one) to interview you didn't get a job.

yep supersticiuos and litteral to the most extreme.

when asking a question phrase mit in such a way that the only response is what you are expecting.

I asked one guy "can you get me x,y and z from the live system?". I did not actually ask him to do it so got SFA untill I rephrased the question

Not to mention the fact that if you are a woman, not chinese and ugly then you most definately WONT get the job

On the other hand, you seen how quick those buggers build skyscrapers and tunnels? Truely amazing!

Yes, they're not exactly troubled by planning laws and health & safety regulations are they. I think that big dam they're just finishing was delayed by 20 mins while the army cleared the last 600 villages. It's good to know they'll be running the world fairly soon.
