Office location is the only positive; management is terrible

Pros

location of the office is the only pros - salary is very medium (but you have to sell your soul for this)

Cons

worst management. The only 3 people that are managing the company most probably were bullied at school for being losers, therefore they themselves act like bullies now. If you want to sell your soul for couple euros to fat losers who will drain all your life force like bunch of creepy monsters, go ahead.
