Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you recommend them highly?

In a nutshell, I would say that woti simply "gets it". If anyone is seriously interested in working at woti.com and is highly qualified, I would be happy to talk to you offline. My address is utefan001 -yahoo-

It just goes to show how compartmentalized gov't work can get. My first project there seemed more like a body shop than anything else; a few people developed the software, and the rest of us just fed it data and wondered why they bothered with such a rigorous hiring process.

Some of the projects that WOTI did sounded very cool, though. My experience was pretty disappointing, but that was three years ago, and most of the co-workers that I was friendly with while working there have moved on.
