    Contractors should never be subjected to questionable material during the process of a data leakage investigation. That contractor still has to work with those people after they have seen things they cannot unsee.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    I do not have any complaints about the COMPANY culture.
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
