the initiative of starting the sub committee of chalmes alumni association ( cing ) for continental europe , cing - ce for short , came in the late 1990 ' s . reacting to the growing number of chalmers alumni spreading all over europe , the board of chalmers alumni association ( cing for short ) decided to try and start a new chapter for continental europe in 1997 . originator was the then chairman of cing björn o . albrektson which organized and personally phoned about 100 potential participants around frankfurt in germany . he also asked one of the originators of the chalmers spex and former chairman of cing , tore
fredde
fredriksson , which had moved to breisach in southern germany after retiring as an engineer , if he was willing to act as the first chariman of the new chapter , which he was . about 30 people met in bad nauheim near frankfurt for golf championship and fun and the foundation was done . the next year , the get - togther was organized in the nearby city of basel in switzerland , close to where fredde lived . also this year was a success and the new chapter had gotten a good start . as the first chariman of cing - ce , tore held this position from 1998 to 2001 when he resigned . tore became an honorary chairman of cing - ce in 2005 . he and his wife inger are still very appreciated guests at the get - togethers .

on september 1 , cing - fm changed to a dance music format , as
dance 108
. the format was targeted to an under 35 audience , and was chosen to fill the demand for such a format in the toronto - hamilton market . the existence of some 500 dance clubs in the region was the proof of the impressive popularity of the music . the change coincided with the relaxation of the crtc ' s fm regulations . while no change in ownership of cing was expected , the format change was masterminded by a trio from ciao - am in brampton - angelo cremisio ( president & general manager ) , his partner bill evanov ( a former manager of cing ) , and john dukelow ( general sales manager ) . evanov and dukelow initiated the successful oldies format on cing in 1980 . they left the station in 1986 - 87 , but remained as major shareholders . con chung was now manager and program director at dance 108 .
studios and offices were located in a single storey building at 4144 south service road , overlooking the qew . cing had 2 , 900 square feet of studio - office space , with an additional 1 , 800 ' available for future expansion .
on april 9 , a power decrease for cing from 50 , 000 to 26 , 100 watts was approved . also granted : a relocation of the transmitting facilities to a new site approximately eight kilometres northwest of burlington and an increase in antenna height .
nintendo should make a grab for cing ' s staff and ip . pay off the relatively small debt , get a fantastic internal studio in the process , and develop another code , hotel dusk , monster rancher etc . into some strong new nintendo titles .

darrin laidman returned to hamilton as the new morning co - host at vinyl 95 . 3 ( cing ) . . . joining colleen rusholme . laidman had been with cfhk london . the morning show was on the air from 5 : 30 to 9 : 00 a . m .
cing - fm was an independent ( stand alone ) fm station - only the third in the country , after cfgl - fm in laval and cfmc - fm in saskatoon . the station had a bright , informative , mature sound , with a strong emphasis on news and public affairs .
on june 10 , the application by shaw radio ltd . , margot m . micallef , ron d . rogers , hal e . blackadar , bob lang and j . t . strain to acquire 65 % of burlington broadcasting incorporated was approved . shaw would be responsible for managing cing operations .
an unusually short lifespan might indicate that your cing ancestors lived in harsh conditions . a short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family . the ssdi is a searchable database of more than 70 million names . you can find birthdates , death dates , addresses and more .
on may 8 , burlington broadcasting ' s application to change the frequency of cing - fm from 107 . 9 mhz to 102 . 9 mhz , with reduced power , was denied by the crtc . the 102 . 9 mhz frequency was awarded to armadale communications , owner of ckoc - am in nearby hamilton .
cing announcers included wes atkinson ( mornings ) , jim paulson , michael spicer , clint trueman , and earl warren . the news department included esther bartkiw , peter murray , frances niblock , and robert sheppard . management included norman blakely ( program director ) , mike ellsworth ( production ) , and glen russell ( sales manager ) .
it was hoped that cing would be on the air for july but plans to install the antenna atop a new commercial and apartment complex were stalled when the building ' s owner went into receivership . a new transmitter site was found on the niagara escarpment , north of burlington . the crtc approved the transmitter site change on september 23 at 3 : 30 p . m . and cing - fm was on the air at 10 : 41 a . m . the next day . a collins generation 4 8316 - 2 transmitter was used , along with a 6 - bay collins antenna . the antenna went up at the new site in just in one day . dave swallow was the station ' s chief engineer .
this is a truely sad day . if nintendo don ' t do anything to save the studio or at least take on the staff themselves they are going to be very unpopular with the fans of cing . without them , the ds would not be the great system we know it as today since they took the system and approached it from a unique angle .

cing - fm decided to appeal a decision which would block the building of a new 450 foot tower at mount nemo , a few miles north of the existing 250 foot tower . the plan was accepted by the halton conservation authority , owner of the site , but vetoed by the niagara escarpment commission . halton region and town of burlington were also against the new tower .
on july 15 , energy 103 . 1 in woodstock went back to full - time local programming , keeping the “energy” format . in august , cing “energy 95 . 3” with a dance / chr format became “country 95 . 3” . the country format was previewed for a week or so before officially launching on august 19 . the “energy” format continued on cfhk woodstock / london and chay barrie ( chay changed to a new format in 2003 ) .
another code r was the only mystery cing made for nintendo on one of its home consoles . the change in presentation from tiny characters on static backgrounds to a fully realized place you can wander around adds a colorful new dimension to the cing atmosphere . while ashley robbins is just a teenager without the miles on her life that kyle hyde had , she has , as they say , been through some shit , making her more of an adult than she seems . because of their work studying memory , ashley’s scientist parents were both taken away from her when she was a toddler . her mother was murdered and her father mysteriously disappeared . in another code r ’s predecessor , trace memory for the ds , ashley travels to a myst - like island , meets a ghost , and tracks down her dad . it was a disjointed story that never congealed in the way hotel dusk does , but it did set the stage for another code r ’s satisfyingly uneventful story of reconciliation on a family vacation gone awry .
its series of mystery games for nintendo ds and wii are so languidly paced , so free of incident , that they can cure insomnia . even when you meet ghosts or solve cold - case murders in cing’s nintendo games , the events don’t feel momentous . they blend into the lackadaisical flow of ashley’s and kyle’s lives . the most interesting times are present , but they’re inextricably woven into the rest , sharing space alongside every mundane conversation with short order cooks and guarded bystanders . these stories shouldn’t work at all , but they do because we recognize the truth of them . it would be boring if it didn’t feel so natural .
in november , country 95 . 3 , billed as canada ' s most listened to country music station , dropped the 7 - year old format on november 13 in favour of greatest hits . the country format ended with
the dance
by garth brooks . that was followed by 30 seconds of dead air , then vintage audio , including a famous martin luther king clip to provide context to the new format .
start me up
by the rolling stones was the first song played in the new format . the temporary branding for cing - fm was
the new 95 . 3
. the announcer line - up was not announced at this time but morning show hosts paul mcguire and lea cater , and mid - day personality laura dunseith were no longer with the station . mcguire did remain with corus though - at specialty channel cmt in toronto . cing management said that after seven years of country music , audience numbers had flat - lined . they said greatest hits was doing well in other parts of canada and the u . s . , so the decision was made to appeal to the 25 - 64 demographic , skewing slightly towards females . a few weeks later ,
the new 95 . 3 . southern ontario ' s greatest hits ,
adopted the name
vinyl 95 . 3
.
good storytelling is directly at odds with the average cycle of boredom . there’s no time for characters to just go through the motions . the great story , as they say , follows its characters at the most interesting time in their lives . footage of luke skywalker actually going to toshi station to pick up power converters in the original star wars was filmed but cut because , honestly , who gives a damn ? our sharing a character’s life for a while is dependent entirely on how relevant what they’re doing is in the larger scheme of the work they appear in , and the storyteller who forgets that is inevitably doomed—unless that storyteller is cing , the now defunct developer behind the likes of hotel dusk and another code r .
in contiental europe , there are approx . 1700 people who graduated from chalmers university of technology . about 300 of these are members of cing - ce . since we are spread out over such a large geographical area , it is difficult to organize activities where all can participate . but since the beginning in 1998 , there have each year been a get - together in the autumn , traditionally one the first weekend of october . that is the chance for the chalmers alumni , together with their partner / spouse / significant other , to travel to an interesting european city during a long weekend ( friday to sunday ) to eat and drink well , to experience interesting events and , most importantly , to meet fellow alumni to exchange experiences and laughs and simply spend a happy time together .
all of these cing mysteries blur the line between major plot points and the average boredom of living these characters’ lives . for every moment of danger , there are two of wandering around or talking to someone about something that doesn’t matter . another code r extends that feeling of a realistically flowing life by literally giving you the time to think about everything she’s doing . the next conversation or incident doesn’t just spring up ; you have to walk between them , chewing on your relationships and the events of your day . as with the average day in a real life , ashley is surrounded by space and time that isn’t automatically filled for her . the story isn’t thrust endlessly forward by the mechanisms of plot and video game activities . it ambles along and doubles back , sometimes seemingly without purpose .
the result is unexpectedly intoxicating , as invigorating as a morning you get up and realize precisely how miraculous it is just to be awake . we come to love not just ashley’s new friends but also the space around her—the painterly wash of lake juliet in the background , the sudden rush of leaves and wind as she jogs between town and the campgrounds . the interior life of thoughts and connections meets the physical reality of her world , and it echoes our own . i play another code r and notice the small things i’m grateful for in the apparent repetition of my own routine . cing’s games didn’t capture the attention of many , and the studio closed shortly after the release of last window . but it did capture a rare phenomenon in its games : the beauty of real boredom , the color of a natural life .
finishing the game , finally learning who mila is and what happened to kyle’s partner—it feels less like the wrapping up of a tight tale than it does the end of another week in kyle’s life . he’s a little different , but he’s still the same guy deep down , still struggling with painful memories and figuring out what to do with himself . that inconclusive feeling carries over into the follow - up , last window : the secret of cape west . picking up just a year later , kyle’s living his life in an apartment complex . he eventually uncovers new truths about his father’s death , but he also spends a lot of time hanging out with the other tenants and in the diner connected to the building . it would be infuriating in another story , but with cing at the helm , it feels just right . “satisfyingly uneventful” isn’t the quote a developer wants on the back of a game box , but it’s the honest way to sell kyle’s games , as well as another code r .
vinyl 95 . 3 ' s greatest hits format was replaced april 10 at 9 : 53 a . m . , by the new 953 fresh fm with a hot ac format . gone from the station were gord james , john novak and bob saint . remaining in mornings were darrin laidman and colleen rusholme . emily szabo was new in middays and kelly cutrara did pm drive . fleetwood mac ' s landslide was vinyl ' s swan song while get the party started by p ! nk ushered in the station ' s new face . cing - fm was the fourth to see corus ' s fresh fm branding . the first was 1031 fresh fm london ( 2005 ) , followed by the new 99 . 1 fresh fm winnipeg ( 2012 ) and the new 92 . 5 fresh fm edmonton earlier this year .
we are very excited to bring this successful fresh format to our hamilton listeners ,
said suzanne carpenter , general manager , corus radio toronto and hamilton .
there is an appetite for this format which is currently underserved in hamilton and we are certain that the new 953 fresh fm will resonate with our listeners .
hotel dusk and little king ' s story creator suffers $ 2 . 9m in liabilities
a brief report on the japanese language site net - ib , as translated by web forum neogaf , suggests that the firm was forced to make the filing on 1 march .
however , the company has been most closely associated with nintendo and nintendo hardware , via titles such as another code ( aka trace memory ) , hotel dusk and marvelous ' little king ' s story for the wii .
the company ' s most recent title - hotel dusk follow - up last window for the nintendo ds - was trademarked by nintendo of europe , but it is now unclear whether it will ever be released outside of japan .

this is where nintendo should step in and help 3rd party devs . . . after all they only made about 100 billion million profit so far
this is a real shame . they are / were an innovative and distinct studio , and it would be a real shame to see them go under . if nintendo seemingly aren ' t that bothered , sony or microsoft could score a nice coup by saving them from bankruptcy and getting them as an exclusive third - party developer .

the most beautiful gurl in the whole wide world , you can never reach her level . super nice and really funny
when a person types the lyrics into a chat , like singing but over email or chat .
an unnamed feeling sets in around your mid - 20s , perpetually itching the back of your brain as if someone scraped out the soft nub of your visual cortex and replaced it with the crunchy styrofoam from inside a stuffed animal from the country fair . too mild to be free - floating anxiety , too insistent to be ignored , it manifests as a nagging concern that there’s something you’re supposed to be doing right now . you forget what it is , but you also don’t really care . years of adulthood are required to finally name that feeling : boredom . life is repetitive whether you’re working like a dog or living out your fantasies , and part of growing up is contending with the numbing pall of boredom until it passes . inevitably , that boredom turns into eventfulness—a new friend , a bad day , a lost opportunity , unusual weather . when things are happening , we don’t notice . we’re caught up . kyle hyde , the put - upon ’70s detective of hotel dusk : room 215 knows that feeling . even teenage ashley robbins , the old soul starring in another code r : a journey into lost memories , knows it . that feeling , against all logic , defines their stories .
kyle and ashley may have already lived the most interesting moments of their lives before their games even start . when hotel dusk opens in 1979 , kyle’s left behind his life as an nypd detective and settled into the distinctly 20th - century profession of traveling salesman . he arrives at the eponymous hotel , both to ply his trade and settle unfinished business from his hard - boiled days . he’s actually hunting for his old partner , who went missing after the pair investigated an organized crime ring and its art - forging operation .
were elmore leonard to sit down and take the reins of this premise , kyle’s story would probably be a whole lot more exciting . it would be turned into a wry series of twists and turns , with unexpected violence , betrayal , and long drags off cigarettes at sunset . that stuff does happen throughout hotel dusk , but those moments come between scenes so dry they could start a brush fire . kyle saunters around the hotel for hours and hours , taking his time to talk to every last guest and employee about their lives and what brought them here . in trying to pick up clues , he gets roped into long drinks with louie , the hotel’s all - purpose lackey , learning about his old days as a thief and his ridiculous crush on mila , the mysterious amnesiac girl who resembles the daughter of kyle’s missing partner . most of the time , kyle is wandering the halls just trying to figure out which random conversation or nightstand drawer will contain the story’s next bread crumb . even when he discovers hidden rooms and the secret history of the hotel’s current owner , those revelations seamlessly lead back to blind fumbling .
the pleasure of hotel dusk is an unusual one , then . rather than getting a thrill from each plot twist or tense confrontation , the flavor comes from kyle’s comfort in his own skin . he isn’t rushing around the hotel like an obsessed gumshoe . he ambles and checks the place out slowly , as restless as anyone whose job takes them to weird hotels . he patiently meets with other residents , absorbs what they have to say , and gets to know them gradually .
ashely travels to lake juliet to go camping with her father . this is the first time dad and his understandably hurt daughter have seen each other in months . when she gets to the lake , situated near a research facility and the neighboring company town , her time unfolds much as kyle’s did in hotel dusk . ashley gets caught up in troubling memory experiments , solving a missing person’s case , revealing the truth behind an unsolved murder , and even reconciling an elderly landowner with her estranged daughter . a sociopath with a gun and shadowy corporate agents threaten her and her father multiple times .
every one of these big moments comes sandwiched among hours of conversation , careful observation of the small town , and most importantly , long walks between the little pocket world of this town , a local park , and an unfinished lakeside resort . while conspiracy and pain wait underneath another code r ’s facade , ashley spends most of her time picking up cans to recycle for a shot at a prize at the lake’s visitor center . she hangs out with the owner of a diner , discussing her ambition to be a guitar player and his dream of making the perfect salmon burger . when she catches up with her dad , finally , they don’t quite know how to talk to each other , and instead , she does some simple meal prep for a barbecue at the campgrounds .

world programming is a uk - based private limited company that first started business in 2000 . the company develops and distributes a software product called wps for the analysis , management , processing and reporting of data .
boston , ma - - ( marketwired - jul 5 , 2016 ) - a us district court has affirmed world programming ' s entitlement to continue to market and license its wps software in the us . in denying sas institute ' s request for a permanent injunction to prevent world programming from selling its wps software in the us , the us court has confirmed that there is no legal basis for any such restriction .
this latest outcome helps put the more difficult aspects of this trial behind us , allowing the world programming team to continue focusing on what they do best , delivering innovative industrial analytics and data science technology to individuals and businesses globally ,
said oliver robinson , ceo at world programming .
we like to compete with sas institute and other analytics software providers on a level playing field and customers are free to choose which software meets their needs best .
v4 has arrived ! the latest release allows users to combine programming languages to build smarter applications . mix
world programming will be at global tech conference ict spring 2018 in luxembourg on the 15th & 16th may . a two - day event that facilitates the meeting of minds , encourages emulation and networking with industry leaders . find out more about wps analytics :
in september 2014 , the us district court affirmed previous uk and european rulings that world programming had not infringed any copyright owned by sas institute nor had it breached any contracts with sas institute . contrary to the uk and cjeu rulings , however , the us court went on to find that world programming had breached a contractual licence restriction on the use of the sas learning edition . the us district court interpretation of the licence terms , along with the associated damages award , will be a subject of appeal .
world programming takes great pride in the development of its software . the use of the latest technologies and development methods , allied to the use of the latest technical expertise , forge an unbeatable combination to enable the company to generate its software in timescales that were previously not thought possible .
this important ruling will provide further reassurance to customers of the long - term availability of wps software as a robust platform for industrial analytics and data science . not only will wps software continue to be available to us - based customers ; it will continue to be supported and developed by an extraordinarily talented team of software engineers and mathematicians that has enabled world programming to create the wps software used in production on a huge range of systems around the world today .
obviously , working in the uk comes with uk weather . there isn ' t much world programming can do about this although on the good days the office has a beautiful stretch of river with trout , ducks , kingfishers , woodpeckers and a host of other wildlife which makes lunchtime something to look forward to .
world programming and the wps software together have established a worldwide following . with a growing user base for wps , the company continues to enjoy a reputation for providing exceptional service and support to customers worldwide . use of the internet and associated technologies has shaped the way the company does business in developing , supplying and supporting software .
dealing with two sets of parallel proceedings from sas institute has been complex ,
said peter quarendon , chief scientific officer at world programming .
we will continue to close - out remaining issues and we are confident that we will ultimately prevail on all points in the us proceedings as we have already done in the parallel uk and european proceedings .
the recent court order follows earlier rulings of the uk court and the court of justice of the european union ( cjeu ) and confirms that the wps software is a legitimate alternative to the sas system software sold by sas institute . all courts that have considered this long - lasting dispute between sas institute and world programming have consistently found that wps software does not infringe any sas institute copyright .
wps analytics v4 has arrived ! the latest release allows users to combine programming languages to build smarter applications . mix sas language with python , r and sql in single executable programs , models or workflows . find out more at
we are pleased with this court decision , especially as it is consistent with the eu and uk court findings which dismissed all of sas institute ' s claims in prior parallel proceedings brought in the uk ,
said alexander carter - silk at brown rudnick , world programming ' s legal advisor .
the fact that this us case has progressed as far as it has , and requires intervention by an appeals court , is surprising . the principles of private international law are such that once a claimant such as sas institute has chosen its jurisdiction and had its grievance heard , that should be an end of the matter . these proceedings have never had much to do with enforcing legitimate legal rights . across the world public policy limits intellectual property rights in time and scope in order to protect and encourage innovation .
the current “project” is primarily sas language programming against monthly health care utilization data sets that that house millions of records . aggregating several years can yield table volumes in the hundreds of millions of rows accumulating to terabytes of disk storage .
i’m generally wary of such surveys , suspicious of both a potential marketing bias by the survey - conductors , as well as skeptical of the sample’s fidelity to the population it purports to represent . at the same time , though , the combination of sas , r , and python resonates in my consulting world .
with a slick programming workbench , wps is a pleasure to use for sas developers . i especially like access to relational databases and proc r , which can exchange data between sas data sets and r and also execute r code . both of these features are available in sas software – at additional cost .
with more than a little serendipity , i came across a report detailing the results of the third annual survey by burtch works executive recruiting , entitled “sas , r , or python survey 2016 : which tool do analytics pros prefer ? ” the survey asked each respondent to name the single favorite of the three programming tools .
the solution that was ultimately adopted used wps’s proc r to first “pull” each offending sas data set into an r data frame , then deploy r’s functional programming features to identify the unnecessary columns and create a data frame excluding those attributes . finally , the new r data frame is pushed back into a sas data set . voila .
the second is that r / python is the choice among data science practitioners , even as sas remains popular among other analytics types . burtch distinguishes data scientists from analytics practitioners by the former’s obsession with large , unstructured , messy data and programming . my experiences at data science conferences where r & python proliferate while sas sits on the sidelines , confirms that finding .
wps was the choice of my current health care informatics client because sas is the legacy data repository , but sas software was prohibitively expensive compared with wps . once the customer was convinced wps was a fully capable and seamless sas programming environment , the choice was a no - brainer . now , a month into development using the data step and proc sql , they’re quite happy . a nervous consultant , i’m guardedly optimistic .
wps is used in production on a huge range of systems at sites around the world . thousands of analysts are using wps in their daily data processing and analysis tasks , and thousands more rely on the heavy - lifting ability of wps overnight and scheduled processing to deliver the information they require . customers are able to choose to run wps software on ibm z / os mainframes , servers and workstations running unix , linux , solaris , aix , macos and the full range of microsoft windows operating systems to fit in with existing or planned infrastructure .

the burtch survey results squared with two conclusions i’ve drawn in the past few years , thus earning important “face validity . ” the first finding is the marked difference in tool utilization by age , with younger practitioners in the r / python camp , while older colleagues identify more with sas . a case in point : i learned sas in statistics graduate school many years ago , while students in the same program today compute with r .
i worked intimately with sas software the first 20 years of my analytics career , switching to open source r and python 15 years ago . i’m now the giddy recipient of the exploding largesse from both the python and r ecosystems .
and yet with all the open source analytics developments , sas remains a big statistical dog with corporate america . so a platform that encourages interoperability between sas , r , and python would seem to be most welcome .
so far wps has been up to the task – with one exception . the provided data sets often have well more than 100 attributes , of which the vast majority house only missing data . “unioning” this data across months with the baggage columns creates a performance drag , even though compression helps keep the storage size down . what’s needed is a simple way to eliminate the dead attributes .
for sas programmers , identifying the baggage columns is easy using proc freq , but getting rid of them is another matter . the prospect of building a column - delete procedure with proc sql , the data step , and the macro language was less than inviting .
the point is that it’s not sas , r , or python , but rather sas / wps , r , and python . all are critical tools in the 2016 analytics professional tool chest . and having them collaborate painlessly is critical . i routinely move data between r and python based on the availability of the newest algorithms and graphics functions in each . the feather packages available in both r and python from the apache arrow project let’s me easily copy data between the platforms .
i’d like to see significant 3 - way interoperability between sas , r , and python and believe wps might be uniquely qualified to lead the charge . hopefully , wps agrees and assumes the challenge .
* note : new proc import capabilities in a soon - to - be - released version of wps will allow programmers to circumvent loading dead ( all missing ) columns into sas data sets .

your trust is our top concern , so companies can ' t alter or remove reviews .
the company has suffered from growing pains , with communication sometimes lacking , but this is improving .
continue the improvement on communication , keeping employees up to date with progress , customer success etc . usual rah rah kind of stuff .
depending on the team the environment can be relaxed . starting salaries are good . you can often have a laugh with some of the people here .
long hours ( at least 45 a week , asssuming you want to have lunch ) . technology is old , most other companies are using far newer versions . if you want a good annual review then you need to be very good at politics .
employees are unable to give feedback on management or reply to the annual review comments even if they disagree with them . this is allowing a culture of bullying and intimidation and needs to be fixed . telling people to raise things informally is not enough when it just gets ignored .
nice people , slow pace so lots of time to do the job . easy commute .
poor management . don ' t really know what i should do from day to day , or even month to month . little communication . and that is apt to change . but it is my last job before i retire , so i shall not complain too loudly .
keep doing what you are doing . unless you want different ( and better results ) . in that case time to change ! !
friendly and relaxed environment . lots of experienced people with willingness to help others . management organizes parties and activities for staff . we went paint - balling last month , that was fun ! this is the first company where managers talk to everyone at any level and participate in activities . among peers there ' s respect and a great attitude . you don ' t hear swearing here .
no healthcare yet , but the company is growing still , so i guess it is normal to make adjustments gradually .
friendly and fun professional environment . literally everyone here is professional and friendly . work is interesting and varied . you could move between teams ( for example you can work on the ui one year and a compiler the next ) and around in the teams ( you can move from engineering to project management etc . ) . you get to work with some of the smartest i have ever met . free fruit twice a week !
a friendly team ethos and challenging technical work combine to make for a productive , collaborative environment . producing sophisticated software for the booming data science community , it is satisfying to see the complex software we write be put straight to use by highly skilled data scientists who are solving today ' s predictive analytics and big data demands .
open plan environment = lends itself to being a wonderfully friendly , informal and relaxed environment .
you ' re free and trusted to get on with your job in a fantastic , open and friendly working environment . working hours are relatively flexible . overall the company is still growing and has a strong product offering .
a few cracks showing here and there with regards to project planning and communicating important information in a timely manner to the wider workforce as it grows . i ' m sure this will be addressed over time .
company benefits aren ' t quite as competitive as others of a similar size . in the past year , a number of specialists have been hired in key positions , but they aren ' t always trusted to make decisions , instead having to defer back up the chain . it feels slightly inefficient and at times can be quite frustrating .
sitting in an office overlooking the river test with meadows beyond is an excellent environment to work . the culture is great and makes work enjoyable .
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile . are you sure you want to replace it ?
