At the start, yes.

By the end of my tenure I got completely disillusioned, and I might
have well as been designing cereal boxes.

Well, one thing we weren't exposed to at Games Workshop was girls
(other than the 'pretty-face' on reception...); I got the feeling a lot
of my colleagues were of the impression that interacting with the
female sex stopped at their mother and/or siblings. If a girl actually
showed an interest in what they were doing, the poor guys lost the
plot. One reason I left, actually; the dysfunctional atmosphere was
starting to get very unhealthy.
