Solid Tech Company and Culture, Even for Vendors
Solid Tech Company and Culture, Even for Vendors
- Skilled Coworkers (Full-Time & Vendor)
- Some interesting and impactful work, opportunities to learn
- Felt included as part of the team in some events
- Lots of remote work available for Vendors
18-month max on a contract with a 6-month break; this could be a deal-breaker for those with families.
Vendors are sometimes left out of high-profile meetings with upper management, having to hear about upcoming things indirectly from the FTEs.
Technical debt on some codebases and outdated internal documentation make it harder to onboard.
Gossip from FTEs about micromanaging managers.
Increase maximum length of contract to 24 months, just like Google, Amazon, and IBM.
