Good Work, Bad Culture
Software Developer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
September 5, 2023
Pros: I worked remotely and as a contractor, I only had to do things related to my work and nothing else. I was never forced to take on extra work.
Cons: No conversion to full-time from the contract. They don't seem to want that position to be full-time for whatever reason. Not a very friendly company culture overall.
