Even after the now-famous layoffs in early 2007, it's still a pretty fun place to work.

Developers are set up to succeed at Jobster

Jobster is a great company for software developers. A lot of the credit goes to the dev managers who created sane and manageable schedules, placed huge emphasis on shipping software regularly, who weren't afraid to do a little triage when necessary, and who built a rock solid QA team in Seattle to ensure that we were always shipping quality product.
