Horrible company to work for!!!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good start for students and new comers. Hourly employees have good opportunities to work overtime.

Cons

To start with HR has “no reply” policy. It is usually a one way communication. Same with the management. Always a one way communication. Working overtime is mandatory and no one will ask whether you are willing to work overtime. If you are not part of the “group” you will be targeted all the time. The policy of hire and fire is quite prevalent. Wouldn’t recommend any experienced professional to join this company.

Don't know what to say here, but i learnt a lot as it was my first job after graduation.

They don't really care about you, and you can evidently see a lot of discrimination.
