Hi, Roman Trachtenberg, Lab CEO stepping in to answer. Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and I’m sorry that the current projects we have on are not quite a fit for you. We are always looking to elevate our team based on learning, ambition and results, and this environment is not for everyone. Change is uncomfortable and disruptive, and I am proud of my leadership team and the vision that they’ve enacted. ION has full confidence in the work we do and the progress we have made over the last three years, as well as our trajectory for the future. Wish you all the best in your next role, and again, appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The markets for technology services and banking in 2022/2023 have been challenging across the board. We are proud to say that we weathered the storm - layoffs have impacted less than 10% of our workforce, and we always ensure that each person is looked after on exit. We're glad you were able to enjoy your short-term projects!
