I had a friend who worked for Demon. He loved it, and I went for two interviews there (and was offered a job, they obviously recognised talent ;D ) but turned them down on the basis that they expected lots of unpaid overtime, only offered 10 days paid annual leave (wouldn't be legal now!), and I'd be on probation for a year (or six months, can't remember) - all on the back of a mediocre salary.

Good decision to turn them down - six months later I'd gone contracting and doubled my income. >:D

Then they went really mediocre and outsourced to Bangalore.  The pay over there must be truly abysmal.
