This work has barely started, so please be gracious, and contributions will be welcome. I haven't even started coding this into a simple database, it's just a page of static links!

Please feel free to drop me a line if you know of any other employers in the Cambridge area that I missed off: paul.mansfield@gmail.com
Cambridge is probably unique in the UK in having a very diverse set of businesses working in technology, ranging from biosciences to internet service providers. It's possible to change the focus of one's career significantly over time and avoid getting stuck in a rut, and do new and interesting things.
I myself have changed from embedded microprocessors (4 bit processors in pagers and mobile radio) over time into a systems engineer via java programming and internet services management. Some times the steps have been small, other times I have made a leap sideways when there's a boom and employers are forced to consider people on the basis of aptitude rather than looking for the perfect fit. Note to employers: finding someone who appears to be a perfect fit for the job, probably because they already do the same job at a different company, means they will not find it a challenge and may even get bored and leave.
I have done my best to link directly to the careers page for a company, sometimes it's not easy or possible if it's via a search function, sorry. Note that the presence in this listing doesn't mean there are jobs available, sorry.
Whilst you're here, consider adding a review of your existing employer to EmployerInformation.co.uk or Glass Door.

If you're here, maybe you're looking for a book on careers advice, or, wanting to brush up your programming skills with books about programming, at Amazon? Clicking through will help cover my bandwidth costs ;-)
