The worst company to work for. Racist and Extremely high politics

Pros

Paternity leave is great. Pension is 20%. You get free shares of up to 3k a year.

Cons

The worst management I have ever been managed by. I was at the company for 3 years. However female new comers or graduates would be promoted within 6 months. They will lie to your face and tell you they want to help but want to keep you to ensure they hit their d and I quota. If you are not promoted within 12 months at max 18 months. It will never ever happen. Be warned stay away from this badly run business.
