Pros

I don't see anything positive with this organization

Cons

Its more of a political party than an organization, Un-ethical practices like they encourage conflict of interest. Business team uses bad words during meetings. Frequent force resignations ( 120 years they never fired any employee) . They illtreat you and torcher you for resigning. They treat you like animals.
