Pros

- Company medical benefit is good - 20 days AL

Cons

- micromanagement, not a good team to be working at - many good global initiatives within the company, but you won’t be encouraged to join if you are in this team - The position is good if you are just looking for some stable money to go into your pocket for a while. However, if you are looking for a job for you personal/career growth, this job might not be suitable.
