    A great place to learn and improve skills
    The good thingsThe working environment is very relaxed and vibrant, colleagues are friendly and bosses are nice to employees. Colleagues are very helpful and bosses are sometimes hard on employees but in a positive and encouraging way. You are able to learn new things and gain new knowledge every day. Very suitable for fresh grads who are eager to learn and explore their personal skills.
    The challengesWork schedule can sometimes be difficult, and can have last minute changes but is bearable if you are good at time management. Sometimes you can be overworked, but bosses are understanding and can give you extra off hours. The pay is kind off low, but it's a great place to gain experience. Public transportation is far from where the office is located so it is better to have own transportation because working hours can sometimes be until very late at night.
