Pros

Amazing culture and people, good remote atmosphere, fair pay.

Cons

Stingy with contracts. I get how a contract-to-hire may not be fulfilled, but then offering a month-to-month basis instead of at least another 3-6 month extension is ridiculous.

Thanks for leaving your review. Compensation is always a hot topic in any industry. We benchmark our salaries externally, using both a general benchmark and a technology-specific benchmark to ensure we stay competitive. We offer competitive rates plus an array of great benefits.
