Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.

Most of the remote roles I see these days are with start-ups/non-public companies, so the security of a large company (and equity) is also part of the equation. Be...Read more
