Choosing the right employer 

Synopsis: I recall an interesting statement made by Pete Deemer(http://www.goodagile.com/) when I was attending his training session on Scrum, and I quote "To sum up, what is a career? It is a sum of many ordinary days at the office with a few turning points in between. " On a deeper level, we as individuals are responsible for both the turning points (job changes and promotions) and the ordinary days (which organization we serve). Choosing the right employer is a critical decision, and yet it is not given the due attention it deserves. This article is an attempt on my part to capture all the techniques I have used over the years to arrive at an informed decision. While it is impossible to know everything in advance, an investigative mindset and enough leg work will ensure that you arrive at a fairly accurate estimate of the potential employer.
