Well, where do we start haha. There’s only 12 PTOs per year. Delayed release of HMO. They don’t pay your government contributions btw haha even though they deduct it from your salary. Management sucks. Everything is poorly planned and last minute and will shift the blame on you if something wrong happens. They don’t train you. The office is so ugly. No work/life balance. Feels more like a college org than a company actually haha.
