The best way to get a real flavour for what a company is like to work for is by speaking with its employees but ONLY if those employees feel able to say how things truly are and what they truly think. You can get a really good idea of our culture by looking at the Lab49 blogs but being able to ask open questions of an employee would, I would hope, enthuse you about our company and give you an accurate idea as to what life is like here as a technologist.
You can actually do this whether you know a Lab49′er personally or not. Most of our staff, as you can see, have blogs and you are able to contact most staff via those blogs. If you’re interested in what one of my colleagues has to say and you like the cut of their jib, why not ask them about what they do here and what it’s like to work here? The people we employee are decent, open and honest people – they’ll tell you were we excel and where we don’t (the key to the second part of that is that we carry out frequent one-to-one meet ups to find out where we are going wrong and then make the necessary changes).
So, if you are interested in working with us but want more information before making any form of commitment to us, contact a Lab49′er. They’ll tell it like it is!

Thanks, I am really impressed by your views related the way of hiring employees for your organization and it should be followed by other companies too. In most cases companies use to hide work profile in brief and never like to be opened by its employees outside. The best way to know about any organization is to talk with the people who work for it, they can only provide you accurate information about the company and job profile in brief. For me it will be a pleasure to work within your organization.
