What to Expect
Your job is not your life. Our employees work Monday–Thursday for 6 hours a day (9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Eastern). We offer paid federal, Christian, and Catholic holidays — including Columbus Day, Halloween, Election Day, and your Birthday. Everyone has access to flexible unlimited "take as you need" vacation. Our business shuts down at the end of each year in observance of Yule, usually the last 12 days of December.
We do not use video conferencing — our meetings are audio only. Daily interaction is primarily text-based communication with real-time chat and (of course) email.
There are no Agile or Scrum rituals. We schedule new releases during the fall and publish refinements during the spring, giving both customers and developers ample time to plan.
