The Power of AI
I am overall happy working here. Our executives have a strong vision for the future and are amazing. Working with my current team is sometimes great, sometimes challenging. However,I wish my supervisor would stop constantly micromanaging everyone. As is, he doesn’t inspire confidence.”
