The worse container logistic company in Estonia.

Business Outlook

Pros

I guess the only advantage is 13 salary.

Cons

No career opportunities - totally zero. Corruption - all managers are somehow connected to each other: brothers and sisters, husband and wife, lovers. Lack of knowledge - HR is hiring employees without any experience or very bad English pronunciation. Managers are dumb, some of them don't even know what means TEU. Discrimination. Co-workers are selfish people and not smart.

Business Outlook

Pros

As a junior to middle manager, this company offers a good work life balance as the company is not serious about setting and achieving targets.

Cons

Highly political with many silos. Lots of self promotion required to progress. Civil service mindset, just keep doing the same thing and holding meeting after meeting to argue and debate. Result is continuing losses.

Pros

The office is new and decent with relaxing dining area for lunch.

Cons

For CAD dept, worse management ever, worse lead, micro-manage with no integrity. Company is not making profit and yet there's no plans and direction in reversing the situation. IT dept has a whole lot of staffs for just a headcount of 800 employees in sg?
