San Francisco: teacher-engineers
Dev Bootcamp (<a href="http://devbootcamp.com" >http://devbootcamp.com</a>)
When Obama and Romney talk about "retooling America," that's us.  We're a 10-week intense training program for junior software developers.
We want to build the best learning environment, period.
Do you love to teach?  Hone your craft?  Share the joy of coding with others?  DBC is the rare place where all of these efforts align.  Spend a week diving deep with a new technology -- and then teach 50 students hungry to hear everything about it.
Since starting at DBC I've improved as a developer 10x, and the challenge of building the a learning environment is the hardest problem I've yet to face in my career.
Some of my favorite things about DBC:
1. Our students are our customers.  They pay us, expect us to change their lives, and hold us accountable to that.
2. Our customers sit 50 feet from us.  This is the tightest, fastest feedback loop I've ever seen.
3. Our internal software is awesome.  We're building a real-time classroom and learning environment -- a huge technical and design challenge.
4. Our students tell us that this is the best learning environment they've ever been in
5. The staff at DBC would die for these students, but we know how to have fun.  This is both the most intense and most light-hearted, fun workplace I've ever been a part of.
6. We're growing.  So fast.
