I'm looking at moving to DC at some point soon, and I would really love to work for a great, medium-small software company. Based on previous experience, I feel I'd be much happier at a smaller company (being at a "big corporation" hasn't been so exciting for me) that focuses specifically on developing software, rather than a company where software is in support of other developments. The list may include, but by no means be limited to, software startups. Any ideas?
I know you said software, but if you're into web development at all, Freewebs and Clearspring seem to be two big companies in the area.<p>Disclaimer: As an FW employee, I may be a bit biased. Besides, it's technically Silver Spring MD. Go figure.

It's not small, but I like working for Booz Allen. I have been on a small project <3 million a year budget and 3 developers so it's like working for a small company but with great benefits. The only real problem is a large portion of your pay is in benifits (ex: 16 days off, 2 floating holidays at level 1) which is nice if you have a family but it's not so hot if your trying to save up capital for a startup.
