Working for Vimeo has been an amazing experience for me. I have a job in programming and have been able to develop and grow in a fantastic team environment. My managers are supportive and are always there to answer questions, while still giving me space to be innovative and proactive with my work. The atmosphere is relaxed, but everyone still works hard and is efficient when accomplishing tasks. Plus, the work isn't just rewarding because of the projects, but also because I receive competitive wages and ample vacation allowances.
