I can hear someone's HR assessment in the next room
Something like that. I got through to the second round with them, but it clashed with an important boat race, and their unwillingness to reschedule it demonstrated their crazy sense of priorities, so I dropped out.
The other thing I remember about that maths test was that the room was arranged to look out over their massive trading floor, a bit like a hospitality box at the football. One of the traders came out and announced to the whole place that he'd just weighed himself and exceeded 25 stone for the first time, and got a round of applause.
Sounds a bit like my 'management talent recruitment day' at Andersen Insulting; I fell asleep during a presentation and was asked to leave. I remain eternally grateful.
