    Terrible working cultural, toxic environment.
    The good thingsThe only good thing about working here was that some of the colleagues were very helpful and nice.
    The challengesHR is always “busy” even before she hears what you have to say. Indecisive management, always worrying about someone “complaining”. Getting your supervisors to understand your problems at work and HR will be your biggest challenge if you decide to work here. In summary, you will be very unhappy working here.
