I know the agent. He is a good fellow and it is a legit role which I was
previously interested in. The one difference which I spotted immediately
is that I was told that they were offering 70K. I've actually 'just' gone
for a role which I feel would be a little more long-termist.
The impression I got was that their current team is one of 'outstanding'
indviduals who are all ox-bridge, yale, mit, etc - with very unique, weird
and wacky histories and hobbies. I used to work with two of them
previously and must stress that they were 'across-the-board' hardcore.

It is a mistake, based on what I heard previously.. That said, I was told
that one of their guys telecommutes from one of the southern states of the
US, whilst being officially stationed in their New York office. I was
also told that there's lots of opportunity to travel to New york, where
half their team works..
I did get the feeling that they have a very 'hacker' culture in this team,
so I assume that it would be good for anyone who is looking for this.
I'd have loved this a few years ago, but I was dubious about the
possibility for career progression - probably something to look out for.
Perhaps they have upped their rate for the right candidate?
