With almost all males, the office has a rambunctious feel--Shemmer slaps his friends on the back and calls them "boys"; another recruit is a "stud." Several of the analysts' cubicles sport posters of scantily clad women, advertisements for a Web site called Bikini.com. "You get a bunch of 22, 23-year old alpha males, you're going to get a certain environment," an analyst tells me. "It's a well-dressed locker room...
