Toxic & punitive culture. A lot of corruption inside. Don't go there unless you have red connection

Pros

Good company for people with red connections.

Cons

The system is designed to trap you. Those managers are divided into political groups, and you have to pick the right one. They care about obedience rather than skills.

Advice to management

Company have grown too big. Maybe it's time to split it a bit to improve management.

Advice to future employees

Employees normally have few choices. Stay open to other opportunities.
