Don't be too green.

Shiny, yes......golden, no.

They will almost certainly be on a specific contract that adjusts their T&Cs relative to their peers. Between their initial contribution and that adjustment, the end result is probably close to the same thing.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch in life...

Highly commendable of Bond to do such a scheme, especially when it was done at a time when they weren't growing as fast as they seem to be now. It seems like an effective way of sourcing good people without one particular party being exposed to extremely high training costs. I would be happy to see all 3 majors adopt the same strategy as standard. The current method of forcing individuals to make a massive outlay, often followed by a long & stressful wait for a job is not healthy for employer or potential employee.
