I'm putting together a list of "bad things to
watch out for in a potential employer" as
part of a jobhunting article, with a particular
emphasis on what you can tell from their
own site.

Can anyone with any Pe[a]rls of wisdom
on the matter drop me an email to
mailto:martin@members.evolt.org

Top example of the day:

Sins include:
* Grabs hold of your entire screem
* Massive background image (actually at 13k it could be worse)
* Background image displayed with dHTML (although it *may* be sniffing
  serverside, but looking at their JavaScript, maybe not)
* Gratuitous use of frames
* Pompous copy
* Use of non-standard fonts without degrading alternatives (Futura)


Cheers
