Best companies to work for in Biddeford?

Curious what people think. I grew up here but left for a while. The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Biddeford sits at 427.0 per 100K. Average temperature is around 45--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $1,187 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Anyone in a similar situation?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 11 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is decent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
