Having worked as a consultant about 3 years ago in the NYC B&N.com office across from Chelsea Market I can attest to the following:

Most of the developers are at best mediocre. The IT managers are clueless. They reside in the same building as Google and are unable to attract NYC talent.

Every time I see the stock climb above 17 or 18 I have a strong urge to sell it short.

Interesting. I did a bit of work in that office too. I was treated quite well, but did not interact with enough of the organization to say much beyond that.
