"Rampant nepotism (you have to be related with CEO or with his secretary), no HR (communication is the weakest spot on their language, no help whatsoever), you have to be a woman to succeed on your job by sleeping with managers; being a male you have to smile and get into the golden aura of your manager, otherwise you`re fired on the spot." ((in 9 reviews)); "Upper management gets a filtered 30 minute review every two/three weeks and expects to keep up to date with the issues." ((in 2 reviews))
