Fake promotion and BS company

Buyer

Pros

Nothing dont believe the bread crumbs you see the fake marketing about the company.

Cons

They are giving so much promotion that the company is growing and BS. They opened the centre in 2017 for 1000+ and closed it in 2020. Only donkey works will be outsourced to India. Do you think Britishers will just like that give away good high value projects to Indians? The leaders here are boot lickers don't spoil your career joining this BS company.
