Difficult onboarding, but a great experience
Difficult onboarding, but a great experience
No, nobody is crying at their desk. Work-life balance in my team is pretty good.
Off-hand project management. Within a certain constraint, you can work however you want, whatever you want, and whenever you want.

Come on... give us free lunch!
