When I finished grad school, I chose to work on a commercial software product as both designer and researcher. I was hesitant about the company but really thought the application was a good fit and I'd get a chance to do a little bit of everything. But it really is like Scott says - you should pick the company, not the project. While I loved the product I worked on, and definitely had good managers and colleagues, the company wasn't strong or supportive and very soon the development team for my application was sent overseas.
Look for a company with potential for growth and that demonstrates respect for employees with educational/training support, a team atmosphere, and a pleasant working environment... and if possible, that offers a chance to work on a variety of project types.
