Pros

The company does have its positive areas such as people speak English, free cafeteria food, and good 9:30 - 18:00 working hours.

Cons

There is a lot of micro-management and bureaucracy. Also, in spite of the Englishnization program, the company is still very much domestic minded.

Pros

There are no Pros to working there

Cons

Management is completely lacking in business acumen, consumer awareness and leadership skills. They are either completely incompetent or they are intentionally running the company into the ground. Possibly both.
