Not a great place to work if you're a women

Executive assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

If you're a male or engineer you are treated better and there is an opportunity for bonuses and share offers.

Cons

The environment is sexist and racist with a divide between engineers (treated the best) and the rest of staff. The DM at the time was aggressive, and a poor leader who did not manage staff or the company well. HR did not support staff and left rampant issues unchecked.
