Jobs in Web development 
This department is where user interface is developed.
We’re the thing that people see. We know that this new feature we put into our product, there’s going to be somebody using it. And that’s a good feeling. It’s why I moved into web development in the first place.

Growth Opportunities at EBSCO

The people who work for EBSCO have the capacity to move horizontally between other teams and vertically within the company. You have the ability to develop your career right within EBSCO. You don’t have to go somewhere else.
I’m certainly an example of some of the growth opportunities at EBSCO.  I started here as an Intern… I was doing manual testing, I picked up some automation testing, I was an automation engineer. I became a project lead[er], team lead[er], and eventually now a manager.
