3.5 Good folks on the teams I worked with, I enjoyed my time with them; learned some new tips, added to their skill box. Management was too old-school, manual manufacturing mindset, in their thinking to properly operate an ecommerce company. "Cost Containment" was the buzz-word of the year, and used as an excuse for not doing anything proactive. Kinda sad. Hope they are doing well now.
