Has become a bigger company but still feels somewhat like a family. Flexible WFH policies are a huge plus.
I am a student software intern and would highly recommend to other students. they are flexible with school, pay good, keep you busy, and really get you familiar with SCRUM development
great with peoples and smart when it comes to critical thinking about a job task
They are very understanding when it comes to absences and what not
Terrible leadership. No true business or management backgrounds for upper management. They are behind the times and are handcuffed with paralysis by analysis. Extremely conservative. Pay is horrendous for loyal employees and growth opportunities are never presented to employees.
