Solid Tech Company and Culture, Even for Vendors
- Skilled Coworkers (Full-Time & Vendor)
- Some interesting and impactful work, opportunities to learn

- 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.

Gossip from FTEs about micromanaging managers.
Increase maximum length of contract to 24 months, just like Google, Amazon, and IBM.
