Pros

Clean new office and nice cafeteria. Clean office or receive a red tag punishment.

Cons

I gave up my dream job to work at a so called stable and growing company. This was the worst experience of my entire life. The Management is arrogant, dishonest, cannot set a priority and only focused on the success of their career.

Very Poor HR and People Relations

Business Outlook

Pros

The company had real promise to open a niche in the industry, but to win required a strong sense of competitive drive throughout. That got lost.

Cons

Virtually every HR function, policy and system is a failure. HR has done more to demotivate employees than anything else.
