My experience with Centaur Software was filled with ups and downs, I have grown as a consequence

The good things- Great work life balance and Hybrid Work options - Great team and work environment - Friendly Team - Room to expand and grow into different roles that are more suited to your preference - Offers both Team Building and Christmas Events - Has allowed me to grow as a person - Always learning new things - Management is agreeable and able to listen - Training provided for new employees - Reviews on progress and they help you plan your future

The challenges- The company had a few flaws in the past however has grown from this and continues to grow - You need to pace yourself and not overwork, detail and accuracy is more important than call count - Need to have patience - At times you have to deal with micromanagement however this is most likely because they genuinely want to ensure quality
