RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the engagement or general feedback about the services?

They were absolutely worst firm to work with. Not only did the staff show extreme incompetence (they struggled to understand basic math) the Manager assigned to the file was by far one of the rudest and stuck up people I have ever met. Worst of all, they did not make the deadline, made a ton of errors and cost us our own personal hell of extra work due to having to fix and rework a number of their errors.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Poor communication, rude and non responsive.
