Business Outlook

Pros

Better salary than other companies in the sector. Young staff with a very good attitude in HR department

Cons

Limited access to training and equipment to perform your job. Managers unaware of cultural differences and occasionally with aggressive management style. Too many political issues in the background coming from state owned company and national press, that at the end, forced the company to quit the country
