We’re thrilled to hear about your awesome experience with management and the ability to work remotely. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us continue fostering a supportive and flexible work environment!
Great place to work. Flexibility, work from home options available. Tons of opportunities across multiple disciplines. Work life balance is great. The people are awesome.
Cons
Pay is unfortunately on the really low end of the industry. A lot of turnover because people leave in order to get a better salary due to the low pay. I also don’t like that your manager (RTL) is also a manager for 20-30 people, and you are all under one large group instead of various teams. The matrix system is a bit odd to me.
