“Joining the engineering team at MQA, especially amidst a pandemic, has been a great experience. The team was extremely welcoming and open to ideas about anything which would make the transition into starting remotely as easy as possible. This could be anything from having multiple calls a day and being available to discuss a single topic/issue or allowing flexible working hours to work around childcare and other obligations. They also anticipated and offered any training that I would need and was interested in,” Sudha Yalamanchili, Senior Software Engineer.
