Software Development Engineer • Current Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
August 10, 2012
Pros: I'm currently working remotely from Vancouver and actively participating in online meetings. This is a very good exercise for understanding English, because many people speak with different accents, and the remote style of work doesn't make it easier.
Cons: I can't take a vacation in the second half of each month because the product goes into the pre-lease stage at this time. Do they really have no one to take over my work while I'm on vacation?
