What are the most unusual facilities you've encountered in an office?
When I was working on some of the pre merger stuff between GW and SKB I had to go to a building at Beechams that had Ribina on draught.
No way - I worked on that too. The canteen in that old SKB building had the best food ever - it was more like a gourmet restaurent. Mind you the GSK building was pretty tasty too.
No. I mean software house as in created a software product, not consultancy.
Free hols were awesome and get this - you got 2 tickets every year - for you and your "life partner". Not surprisingly the life partner thing was well abused.

Where were you? I used to head down to J Block a lot. Never spent much time at GSK house as I was sent to work in Greenford in their regulatory section
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
at the research center of the mobile telephone/network infrastructure manufacturer, they had a music/jamming room in the basement next to the gym (which was fitted out better than most in towns with the tv's and everything)

Stockley Park for most of time and a stint in Brentford. The staff shop was great if you liked ribena, painkillers and toothpaste - nothing you could really make a meal out of though.

Milan.
I would love that right now. I'm working on some new songs at the moment and that would really float my boat.
