Re:What catches your attention in a job listing?

This is one of the better listings I got recently from a recruiter. When I asked her about the company and what they did, all she would tell me is "Our client is a very successful E-Commerce company. It is in the top 10 in
the world for the particular type of site that this job is for." Looks like a fairly good 'job', but to work for a non-descript ecommerce company was not in my plans. I think it's great though that they start right off with the work environment. Custom workstation with Dual 30" Apple displays would be amazing.
