Comments:
My experience was the same as reviewer, "ASA n/a Tues April 28 @ 20:14:21 EST 1998. Was never called the receptionist seemed to resent the fact that my test scores were very high (in the 90's).
I felt as though I was on a movie set. Everyone who walked by me was very glamorous and too self-involved or engrossed in conversation with another colleague to even ask if I was being helped/seen. My wait was roughly an hour+, but they advertised high salaries in the Sunday NY Times Help Wanted section when there was really one, and they never called me with an assignment. Or had the courtesy to return my calls regarding work related inquiries.
