What they like about Sun Microsystems, Inc.:
You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.

Getting ready for release
Our project is finally in the last days before it's public release. We've been at this for 18 months now. It's been a long slog. I personally rewrote my part of the service (source code management) at least twice. The web design also went through a dramatic overhaul since the initial private testing phase. I'm looking forward to developers trying it out and giving us their feedback. Maybe we'll finally adopt a real Agile development model, too, instead of the pretend form we've been haphazardly employing so far.
