      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Our CEO is very optimistic and has the ability all the way. Good leader. The very good thing about our CEO he addresses all the employees in asakai. Benefits of free breakfast, lunch, commute allowance. Good Project.

      Cons

      Long office hours. It seems to be a typical startup where you are asked to work for 12 14 hours and you have to be ready to pick their call at any time. Horrible, You lose your patience, get frustrated. It causes personal life issues. You will start having a health issue, mental problem.
