It has been a few months since one of these got attention.

Let's try and preface each submission with city or country info, ie SF, NYC, etc.

Sarasota, FL - But definitely not my company. Even though we are hiring, I was reprimanded last time I posted to a Who Is Hiring thread. However, if you are in this near-paradise of white sandy beaches (no oil!), and need work, reply and we'll figure something out.
You got reprimanded for trying to find good talent? Sounds like a great place to work...
Knowing about jobs outside US will be really appreciated too e.g. Europe, Far East, Middle East and etc.
I hope remote (telecommute) ones exist too.
Boston, MA - Zazu is hiring both interns and full-time developers. We're a ruby/java/mongodb shop though we're moving everything over to scala/mongodb.

Citrix Online - makers of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, GoToMyPC and more, is hiring.

If interested, you can feel free to apply at the URL above - also send me an email at the address in my profile so I can give you my name to put down as a referral.

I can say that GoToWebinar is not the best product. I've used it about 4 times to attend a webinar and there usually is some problem or another (Degraded audio, no audio, getting disconnected.) The organizers of that specific webinar also expressed their dissatisfaction with GoToWebinar.
It would be better to report problems to Citrix rather than in this thread where they are completely off topic.
I think this is very relevant: I would personally avoid applying for a position in a company with a very problematic product.

I've heard this is a great company to work for from friends. My fiance and I also order from them constantly, so the offering is compelling.

Sidenote I sent in an app for product manager and was never called back ;(

Glad you like our stuff; sorry you never got a callback! Our HR department was very disorganized for a while -- it should be a lot better now.

I'm sure it cost us a number of excellent people.

i spent time here as developer. it was, hands down, the worst development and work experience of my life.
Within a month or two, I'll be relocating from Kansas to San Francisco to (hopefully) help a startup do great things in a Software Engineer or Web Developer role.

Chicago (Arlington Heights), IL

Restaurant.com is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Primarily .Net) and a Senior Database Administrator (SQL Server 2005/2008). We are a .com and PROFITABLE, employ 175 people, and represent about 15,000 restaurants. We are growing like crazy and in need of some really good developers with a broad spectrum of skills (TSQL to Code to UI) who can hit the ground running. We move very quickly here with a minimum of bureaucracy...good place to work if you don't mind the pace.

Main Job Postings (But Not Comprehensive. You can post your resume here anyway or email it to jobs@restaurant.com) http://www.careerbuilder.com/Jobs/Company/C8D2BZ6VY90T51SPJD...

Couple of notes:

- If you apply as Senior Level make sure you are truly Senior. Too many applicants present themselves as expert but really aren't even close. We are willing to hire a mid-level developer so just present yourself as such.

- If you aren't passionate about development you won't like it here.

- If you are coming from a large corporate environment be sure you can handle less bureaucratic structure. Job roles are fluid and you are expected to step in when you are needed. If you have ever said,"That is not in my job description." you might not be a good fit.

( If you can't tell I don't work for HR :) ).

In all seriousness if you live in the area and are at all interested please contact me directly if you have any questions. I am not an HR person (Sr. Software Engineer) so you won't get any varnish from me.
