The company I work for, Daptiv Solutions, is hiring. If you're interested in working on features that 100,000+ people will see within a month's time frame, send me your resume. I'll personally ensure you hear back from us (no black holes). If that's not for you and you'd rather meet in person and chat, I can do that too.
I find a good way to find out about a company's work environment is the standard Joel test, so here it is: *Do you use source control?* Yes, we use TFS and Git (https://github.com/daptiv). TFS is used for our proprietary source but we're in the process of replacing it with Git. * * *Can you make a build in one step?* Yes. rake *Do you make daily builds?* Yes, TeamCity builds every checkin and is covered by 10,000+ automated tests including hundreds of Selenium (grid) tests. New builds are pushed to QA environments 3 times a day via ControlTier. *Do you have a bug database?* Yes, we use TargetProcess for stories, tasks, test cases, and defects. *Do you fix bugs before writing new code?* Yes. A completed story adds no new defects and will often fix a few existing bugs. *Do you have an up-to-date schedule?* We have a long term product roadmap and use Scrum. Our sprints are 2 weeks long. We release new features monthly. *Do you have a spec?* Not a traditional spec, but we have stories, mockups, and documentation. Devs have a *lot *of input into the design of features. *Do programmers have quiet working conditions?* No. No offices, no walls, no cubes. The engineering team has a big open space and is free to move desks around as needed. *Do you use the best tools money can buy?* Yes. We use ReSharper, VS2010, WebStorm, TeamCity, RedGate tools, NCover, DotCover, plus lots of really great OSS tools. *Do you have testers?* Yes. Every scrum team has a STE and/or a SDET, however developers are responsible for quality just as much as testers. *Do new candidates write code during their interview?* Yes. We can't hire you if you can't prove you're comfortable writing code. *Do you do hallway usability testing?* Not nearly enough. You can help change this.
