[HLUG] Linux jobs in Hereford?

[Alex Mace]

Hi Lee,

I worked at allpay from September 2003 - May 2007, so I am speaking  
from personal experience. I think since February 2007 at least 5  
directors have left the company, there are ongoing tribunals and court  
cases, etc, etc. Just generally a lot of not very good stuff. That  
being said, as I previously said, there are a lot of good people  
working there, the offices are nice and the QA team (as it was when I  
left) are a friendly bunch.

Alex
