The Best IT Employers in Maryland

Obviously, any “Best of” list is pretty subjective, so don’t get all crazy if you hate one of these companies or if you’re convinced that yours is clearly superior. The 5 companies listed below were culled from the 25 Best Places to Work article that appears in the February 2009 issue of Baltimore Magazine. I just added a little different information direct from the companies’ sites. In no particular order:

  • Merkle is a database marketing agency that is headquartered in Columbia, MD. Its corporate campus there houses 450 of its 1100 employees nationwide. Merkle has already signed 25 new clients for 2009 and the business appears to be about as rock solid as you’ll find in the current economic climate. IT job seekers who may have been unlucky with various IT staffing services may want to take a closer look at what Merkle has to offer. Great company with progressive ideas about keeping employees happy and engaged.
  • CollabraSpace is based in Annapolis, MD and currently has “only” 33 employees. I stress that because that’s the type of environment where top IT talent can make a significant and rapid impact. The company is a provider of business collaboration and integration solutions for both the public and private sectors.
  • G.1440 is an IT consulting firm that is based in Baltimore (Hampden, specifically) with 77 employees. They have evolved over the years to embody everything that a top IT job seeker is looking for – the stereotypically “cool” workspace, complete with the laid-back attitude and overachiever mindset. If you have any doubts about this place, stop by and check out their pool.
  • Raytheon Solipsys has the best name of any IT employer in Maryland – and it’s a pretty hardcore operation. It’s located in Fulton, MD, which sounds like a nice place. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Raytheon Company, Raytheon Solipsys develops command and control solutions for the Department of Defense and Homeland Security. I’m guessing you’ll need a clearance to sniff their facilities, but it must be a very interesting place to work.
  • Tessco Technologies is dedicated to everything wireless. The company is located in Timonium and Hunt Valley, with over 800 employees in Maryland. If you think the company looks like a fit, just make sure you know your wireless — I can assure you that it will come up during the interview.

    What about Google and Pixar?

    Neither Google nor Pixar currently have offices in Maryland, but if they ever do they would likely be near the top of this list.
