Pozitivno
Vrlo transparentan pristup apsolutno svemu. Kolege odlične. Atmosfera u timu pozitivna i svi su uvek otvoreni da pomognu. Niko ne izigrava policajca već se nadređeni oslanjaju na radnu etiku svojih članova tima. Fleksibilnost je velika, s tim da se rezultati očekuju. Ukoliko postoje urgentni taskovi, stavlja se više ljudi na projekat umesto da jedan izgori i ostane prekovremeno. Čak ni softver za monitoring ne mogu da stavim u negativne utiske jer vas pored njega nadređeni ne cimaju i ne stoje nad glavom. Retka atmosfera za naše podneblje.
