I had the interesting experience of working for them, starting about half-way through the wild ride. 100 hour work weeks, the Los Vegas Comdex, boys weeping quietly over broken code, a baptism by fire in C++. huge arguments over minor stuff, and the most sushi I ever ate in one night. Pretty intense experience.
What's more, I'd do it again. Show me a cool idea and some hot coders, and I'll do those 100 hours weeks. But I want might to have a chat with the CFO first. ;)
The following are a couple rants I wrote at various stages of the meltdown. If you've been in a similar place, you might find them amusing.
IFusion Fuses, mostly written 3/29/97, 4am
IFusion After Thoughts, written 6/4/97 and 9/25/97
