3.9 out of 5 stars
  • "The work environment is fairly laid back and your coworkers are always willing to assist in brain storming or trying out different paths if it means finding a solution. Although it may be difficult to see the "big picture" through the monotony of a single day, if you take a step back, and consider the individual person's input, it becomes easier to see that they all do their best to reach and achieve their overall goals. Communication can be a bit stifled, but the documentation is improving and they display concern for each other's wellbeing; willing to assist each other in any way they are able. Although they are currently in the midst of a transition, the pace is not unbearable; additional tools may be necessary to track the duration of activities, since it's sometimes difficult to notice the end of the day approaching swiftly."

    "I love being able to easily fix small programming errors but the downside was finding issues that weren't so easy to resolve."
