Information Architect\/User Interface Designer – Mid Level; Boston, MA<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The Company<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I love this company, and if I was still a Project Manager, I might even apply to work there myself. They’ve been around since the early 90’s, survived the dotbomb of 2000-2003, and they’ve continued to flourish and grow their business ever since.<\/p>\n

This is not an ad agency. This company does web design\/builds and they do it very well. Their clientele runs the gamut from b2c and b2b, to non-profit, publishing, higher education and healthcare to name but a few. They also do some mobile, tablet and social media, so you’ll stay on top of emerging trends and technologies, and get to work on some super-interesting projects along the way!<\/p>\n

It’s a small company, with about 50 people and a family-friendly, collaborative feel to it. They only hire a couple people a year, and they choose their hires carefully, which helps them maintain their great culture and a very low turnover.<\/p>\n

They are within walking distance of the subway and train station and for you commuting suburbanites, they have two parking lots\/garages within a stone’s throw of the offices, as well as one of the best lunch spots in town.<\/p>\n

In short, the opportunity, culture, location is fantastic!<\/p>\n
