- “Great team events including summer trips and ski weekends. Relatively easy to take time off, but the AL offering is low and there is not TIL offered over crazy weeks/weekends.”
- “High flexibility in terms of time (we need to do our 40+ hours per week, but there are no fixed core hours) and location we can work from. Interoffice traveling possibilities are not super clear—some people get to travel a lot, even for internal work; others don't get the opportunity at all.”
- “The annual ski weekend and company event are easily my favorite benefit; it is such a great bonding activity. “
