While they consistently met deadlines, and told me when they were off for holidays etc, their email response times varied due to being on Polish time, which occasionally left me uncertain about their availability and when they would be online or leaving for the day. A bit more clarity around working hours would have been helpful so I knew when a quick response was coming vs the next day.
