No offence. I spent a year in the IT department of a digital marketing company and within a week it was obvious what the game was...account managers agree crazy deadlines with client, throw the work at IT team and threaten them with XYZ if it's late, while IT managers do nothing about it because they have no authority. The 'account managers' were all young amoral girls employed to flirt with male clients.
I stayed a year so I didn't have any awkward questions to answer at my next interviews, but I honestly don't know how I lasted that long. By the end of my time there the whole IT dev team had left and been replaced.

I guess it's not like USA #1, where both jobs and employees are disposable for the employee and company, respectively? Even more for IT folks like me; it's never hard to find a new gig.
I think I would hate that company too, although the young amoral girls part sounds intriguing. Beer in the fridge too?

The interview thing I guess is down to British cultural differences as you surmised and me not being a very convincing liar when spinning a yarn in an interview.
Anyway.. **** that place. Last I heard they've changed their company name yet again.
