"The work atmosphere is terrible because management encourages unhealthy competition. You are made to compete against your co-workers instead of cooperating to deliver better outputs. Some managers also despise creativity and thinking outside the box."
"Working in a company where there's no hope for your career to grow is frustrating. No matter how hard I work, how long the hours I stayed in the office, there's just no chance for me to be promoted because of very limited opportunities. I hope the management would take into serious consideration the career path and growth of the employees. It's very important for employees to make them motivated and driven to work every day."
"it is good to be able to review former employers"
