<div dir="ltr">FWIW, there's worlds of difference between a "System Technical Analyst", which reads as "RHEL tech support" in the description and something like Software Engineers. Yes, its offshoreable, but not as easily replaced on a whim -- knowing the system that you built carries a lot of value.</div>

I would carefully assess this one. I worked for them a few years ago<br>
and their environment is hostile and your lucky to make it a year.<br>
While I was there, I saw people fired frequently and treated<br>
inhumanely.<br>
