What I like most about PDS is the people, they are friendly and amiable, and I believe the company does its best to support its employees. I enjoy the varied work and never feel pigeonholed, and I like the fact I get to do work I enjoy and feel capable doing.
If I could describe PDS culture in it would be friendly, welcoming, and supportive.
