People, teams, interactions, values, technical stack on AWS, and improvements taken with the right manager after sprint retros. Best people interaction I’ve had the pleasure to work with.

I am a US citizen who came from India on an H1B visa over twenty five years ago. In those days, H1B was limited to six years.. No extensions possible. Many of my friends went back at the end of six years, because they viewed H1B as a temporary visa, not an entitlement to work in the US. Most of us ...Read more
