Redrum old hand Registered: 17/01/2003 Posts: 998	The company I work for was just purchased by NorthgateArinso. Since some of you are located in UK I thought I'd ask for opinions on this company. From an employee standpoint, is this a good company?

But apart from that, I really don't know much about them, sorry. (Assuming they are the same Northgate!)

Northgate do a lot of payroll, managed IT/backup systems etc. Probably best known for putting their HQ next to one of the UK's biggest fuel storage depots: http://www.life.com/image/56429245 http://www.herts.police.uk/crimedatabase/global/images/buncefield/big/buncefield1_big.jpg

Redrum old hand Registered: 17/01/2003 Posts: 998	I read that at Wiki. That's got to suck when your company blows up. I guess they finally got their settlement and went shopping for companies. Hopefully their revenue stream is more than insurance based.
