to start of, at the interview i was offered 18K then once i accepted the offer and handed in my notice at my previous work i was contacted and told that there are budgeting issues and i was given 16K instead, great start
basically, all of your managers at the 7th floor have no degrees, highers or what so ever so use your imagination
now what makes it worse is that "managers" are hand picking people (friends) from within other teams and outside so it's very politically dominated
progression, forget about it unless you are connected to certain people
if English your second language then you'll get paid less than the cleaners
never ever take anyone's word unless it's a written statement. false promises is every manager's hobby
