Since I first posted this review years ago, this company has changed, and so has my opinion of it.
This is a good place for a newish developer to gain experience and grow his career. -
Wrong Company!

EDIT 13 SEP 2008, so apparently the review that I wrote 2 years ago got corrupted and somehow switched to another company. The review I originally wrote was for Adaptive Methods, a Northern VA based software company, and NOT for Brainchild Products. Contacting site admin to see if they can fix the mess up. From what it looks like, Brainchild Products is a company that I would not touch with a 10 foot pole though.
