Comments:
Awful, awful place. I came in, took all the tests, and was guided to a group of desks with people behind phones, my name was announced by my "counselor", and I had to field questions from the people behind phones! No individual one on one interviews. The office itself (in midtown - Times Square)looks dirty, and the people who work there care so much that I never got a phone call from them, which is fine since I wouldn't want to work for a company that had Essex as a client.
