What makes the arrangement even more interesting is that banks frequently reorg about every 6 months. This assures that things are constantly changing and interesting and you never know who you might be working next with. From my husbands perspective the arrangement works well when you have group projects (BTW: They get laptops with wirelss too which makes it easy to collaborate anywhere), but headphones come in real handy when your trying to concentrate on finishing a solo activity.
