We're hiring.
Java developers, we have two openings here at Flux. Flux is a very exciting place to work where the fruits of your efforts are used at many, many financial institutions worldwide and have a positive impact on thousands of people. For me, that's truly both inspiring and sobering.
What's special about the Flux working environment?
Besides the truly casual atmosphere, weekly massages, daily ping pong, and shoe-optional dress code (I'm not wearing shoes as I type this), we have all the usual benefits (healthcare savings accounts, 401(k) with company paid matching, paid time off, holidays, dental, vision, etc).
But here is perhaps the most exciting benefit:
All Expense Paid, 7 Day Vacation for Two, Anywhere in the World
On previous trips, Fluxies have visited Ireland, Mexico, Japan, and, of course, the United States. One ambitious Fluxie hit France, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic all in a single trip. 
To apply, send your info to careers@fluxcorp.com telling us about your Java development skills.

UPDATE: TheServerSide.com picked up this blog post and wrote an item on the "all-expenses-paid, seven day trip for two to anywhere in the world" benefit at Flux. TheServerSide.com is pretty much the place to go for enterprise Java news and spirited discussions among fellow practitioners in the enterprise Java community.
What benefit or perquisite excites you about your employer?

David serves as the president of Flux. He wrote the first few versions of Flux before it was selling well enough that he could hire Java developers smarter than himself.
