Thanks for the review! For more than 30 years, we have stayed resilient in the face of many challenges and seen growth not even we could have predicted. As you know, we work together as one team to achieve our mission – to connect the unconnected. We’re sorry to hear you felt that way while working here. The work you did, didn’t go unnoticed and we thank you for the impact you made during your time here. Candid feedback from current and former employees allows us to evaluate how we are supporting our employees and to make adjustments to better empower them. We wish you the best of luck in your future career!

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
