"IDEA is a good place to work. I’ve learned a lot in my new position and there is a good mentorship program.

"There is a great policy for paid maternity leave. Once you work there for 3 years, you get 8 weeks 100% paid. You can also use PTO on top of that with the approval of your manager. I was able to take 14 weeks."
