"While this was a contract role, it was actually one of the best companies I’ve worked for. The training was phenomenal, easy to learn and I love that there was no micro-management.

The team was absolutely phenomenal and we legit worked well together even though I worked remotely."

"Too many LRs (Limited Restructuring) and re-org, very often with human impact (i.e., layoffs). Too bad really, as this has the potential to be a great company. Strategies are too fluffy, too, which is a huge warning sign about this company's longer-term longevity."
