I am the ER Quality Engineering Lead for RGNext. I love working with extremely knowledgeable and competent people. RGNext Management is very easily approachable. All managers in my direct chain of command know what they want. I never hear "that's not good enough" without also hearing "here's what I want". I have always loved my jobs, but this job is just a terrific way for me to finish out my career. I plan to keep working at least until max social security age.
