Let's face it, developers/designers are the life-blood of Ascentium, especially those who are savvy in Microsoft products (MS is Ascentiums largest client, and makes up 50% of the business).

This is an employer that "gets" developers & development. I cannot say enough good things about it! When they say employee quality of life is #1, they mean it. This is SO not a "corporate" company! I will never look for another job, as I know I'd be vastly disappointed.
