Missing the memo: Realtime Worlds hiring

It went out to everyone. Hell, I got 3 copies!

Wow, six huh? That's a lot...


:\

Yeah, I study in Dundee (from Edinburgh originally - and not giving you any information about which of the two Universities I'm at or what I'm studying, btw ;-) ) and we got an e-mail around saying they weren't offering work placements this year for us heading-into-final-year students. This was after those interested were kept waiting for about ten weeks with continual updates from our supervisor basically saying "Still waiting to hear from Realtime Worlds...".

I thought they were ramping up production on the unannounced project that was mentioned (I thought it was Crackdown 2 judging by the body language and choice of words when someone brought it up, but Ruffian got that instead so I'm now curious as to what said unannounced project actually is) at Game in Scotland at Fat Sam's in March, but obviously not. It seems they're just spazzing about and I know people in my class who would have killed for a placement there.

If their website is full of stuff about how great the company is to work for, why are they having difficulty finding people? Methinks they're being fussy and have set the bar too high. I think RW are going to get drunk on APB and Crackdown's success and go downhill, but that's just me being very cynical as usual.
