    Not good, very traditional
    The good thingsColleagues are good and most of them are friendly, environment okok, if you want a stable job then it’s ok
    The challengesExpect you to OT even though there is nothing to do, very outdated way of getting work done, higher ups don’t listen to the lower’s opinions, low productivity and efficiency, expect non-permanent staff to do all the work, no work life balance at all, some of them talk behind you if you leave work ON TIME (they expect everyone to OT even if you have nothing to do, they OT to watch entertainment), not a good company if you prefer the modern way of working environment
