- I think they may have been separate companies at one point. I think, not positive.harlequino
- that seems to be the most probably explanation.Jaline
- Razorfish was definitely it's own company at one point. The name brings back scary dot-com memories.eegrek
- It's all managed by http://www.aquantive…
and owned by MicrosoftMimio - hahaha.... In 1999/2000 Razorfish was the cat's pajamas. Hard to think that some of you guys have never heard of them. I'm old.TResudek

An ex-co-worker took an admin type job with them a few years ago and she's still there. She likes it, but that's all I know.

A co-worker ran into one of their AD's at a party recently. I guess she mumbled some things along the lines of it can be brutal, but that's all i know.

Razorfish was, back in the 90´s one the biggest internet firm, I mean there was very few people that knew about internet anyway, they worked together with the company I use to work at the time! Some people that worked at Razorfish own agencies now...

I've got a feeling they are owned by Microsoft in some way

I'm sure they're trying to adopt the better parts of ms's corporate culture. problem is I don't see anything coming from MS that would attract 20-30 something hipsters.

We hired them (LA Office) a few years ago - they were fantastic. Nice people, really good design work and one of the few that really understood UCD and IA.
