Business Outlook

Pros

Good location. Hybrid work (2 days from the office only)

Cons

No promotions. And if you are good with management ladies then you have a chance to get promoted. . Also forget about salary raise. They offer you ridicilous amount of yearly salary raise. If you didn't receive this year, then sorry but you have to wait until next year. They are not fair with salaries. If you do not want to overwork and not paid enough, then please stay away from this place.
