What sets Citadel apart is the ability to work closely with the people you’re building software for. Everyone who is part of the lifecycle of what I’m working on sits right around me or is a phone call away.

Your contributions are very visible. The timeline between some pieces of work that you do and some outcomes is very short, so the feedback loop is very tight.
