Vigilant was worse and DRW is terrible

Senior network engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some nice people in HR and relation department

Cons

I saw this company very low level in network. This was worse company I had ever worked in terms of what I am supposed to work based on position and responsibilities. This is a good place for only graduated people and then move on when they get a superficial experience in network. In interview they ask you very high level of technology and you might have more than three rounds but when you joined to the company you see this is not what you are supposed to see and they are bunch of obsolete switches providing a botched up network.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We can’t wait until you’re able to come and see the offices and meet more people in person (that should help with the silos!) but it’s great to hear from our employees who were onboarded and have had a 100% remote experience!
