- “The current all-work-from-home environment has been seamless in terms of access to technology resources and interacting with others at the firm.”
- “Aside from really competitive benefits and pay, the company is clearly always making an effort to make sure employees enjoy the working environment here. I also really enjoy the employee resource groups formed over the last two years, such as the Brandywine Young Professionals Network and Women’s Employee Resource Group.”
