Sojiita, I can one-up you. I worked at their HQ as a web programming contractor. They encourage their employess to "live the brand"... their (all male) receptionists look like they stepped out of the A&F catalog - overly tanned, overly coiffed and carefully styled in their "I'm trying so hard to appear casual and laidback" type of way. It's expected that all employees dress in Abercrombie or Hollister clothing, which means that nobody is above a size 10. At any given point, their courtyard is full of guys tossing a football, or girls in short skirts goofing around on scooters. I never did figure out if they were paid to do just that, or what their actual jobs were.

My department had the music up so loud (just like in the stores) that I could barely concentrate, let alone write code. I quit after a month. It was a soul-sucking experience.
