"I have been working at Verisign since May and I have loved it. I think it has made me a diverse and qualified candidate for a software development position. As the global leader in domain names, Verisign powers the invisible navigation that takes people to where they want to go on the Internet. For more than 15 years, Verisign has operated the infrastructure for a portfolio of top-level domain names that today includes .com, .net, .tv, .cc, .name, .jobs, .edu and .gov, as well as two of the world’s 13 Internet root servers (A & J). Verisign’s product suite includes Managed DNS, DDoS Protection and iDefense Security Intelligence Services."
