One thing to watch out for is something Foundstone did at one point. They
took note of the companies from which everyone came, and eventually ran a
rather large advertisement which named every company that in any way
competed with them, which further insinuated that these companies only knew
what they knew from attending Foundstone training. I know this because the
company I worked for at the time was named; one of our people had attended a
seminar out of curiosity (he was let go as a result).
