Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're happy to hear you're surrounded by supportive and positive colleagues who provide a great work environment. Team building activities certainly have their unique challenges during work from home. As we return to the office, we have many exciting company activities planned if you are able to go in. We also recommend working directly with your manager to see if remote team-building activities are possible.

Pros

The happy hours are the only good thing

Incompetent and sleazy managers, Lack of proper workflow management. No correlation between job description and actual work. Company culture was based on screaming at employees. No work life balance.
