It really is a stark contrast. I'm going to grad school for HR and I can say that this job has made me fully aware of how NOT to structure an organization.

In my view working in such a company is pretty much like flying... and... as Leonardo da Vinci said: "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." People might fear working for such a company because it looks like it requires the ability to fly... and...actually it does require that but what they don't know is that they were born with wings. “What do you think – would you like to work in a radical company? ”
