Good pay overshadowed by poor leadership and organization

Process engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The payment is good but that's all

Cons

No leaders, people without studies leading tech departments, No organization at all, no remote and zero flexibility, the worst work environment, zero budget for team building activities for regular employees but the executives takes expensive "planning activities" and have more vacations, security department (HSE) isn't functional at all and you have to do three people's work, including other departments work because they do not like to hire enough people. Also there's no growing opportunities.
