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.

You were in HELL! I hate A&F. Soul-sucking pretty much sums up New Albany IMO.
Another reason to hate that place: Les(I am a closet queer)Wexner. He is well known as gay...he loved to buy guys drinks in gay bars in Columbus in the early/mid eighties(seen it myself with my own eyes).
