One of the worst places to work

Pros

If you are just fresh out of school you stand to learn especially if you are in the research department But even those ones get burnt out in a year after being used and abused daily

Cons

The list Is veery long but I will state a few No clear JD work is assigned to you according to the whims of the CEO No chain of command in the real sense of it, the CEO micro manages everyone down to the guards outside Work is monotonous mostly and you won’t learn much in the long run Staff morale is low therefore attrition rate is very high Promotion is not on merit and does not follow any standard. This is also according to how the CEO feels about you The HR department does not exist as the CEO overrides all his heads of department and determines what happens to who, how and when. When anyone leaves the organization their chances of getting a referral is very low as the management uses it to punish or get back at staff that left Stunted career growth for people who are not in the “cabal”

Horrible Place To Work

Pros

Some level of exposure to research.

Cons

Everything is wrong with the organisation. The CEO is the sole decision maker. Needless to say, if you fall out of favour, he'd go out of his way to frustrate you everyday!! Staff welfare is non existent and staff bullying is a normal by management staff who do not know their left from their right.

Pros

- Most employees are positive and nice to work with despite the toxic environment.

Cons

- Micromanaging from top-level mgt - Top mgt is very vindictive to people who resign (delaying to respond to references unjustly) - No severance package after working for years. - Physical work environment can be depressing (ACs not working because they are too old, printers can malfunction often because they are too old, staff kitchenette looks very unkempt, only two staff toilets available and so on) -very manual processes, old desktop computers, quite outdated with little or no efforts to be up to speed with current trends, causing a lot of inefficiencies and frustration in carrying out the least of tasks - Environment is quite toxic, you can almost have panic attacks at the thought of going to work - Odd work hours, 7 am resumption, and 4 pm closure that can be very difficult to adhere to consistently.
