    Got the opportunity to learn a lot about new technologies, met wonderful, passionate people who have inspired me to do better no matter what I do.
    The good thingsFor someone who is outspoken, this is a place to flourish. There are many opportunities to show your talents. Flexible work environment.
    The challengesFor the more introverted folks, you will able to progress only if you can change yourself to someone who would be more visible either in meetings, or mailing lists. Pay is on the lower scale. Need to constantly have conversations with managers and are still told that you need to do more.
