What position you got there? Try to advoid IT positon there... its a miserable life there.

If you work as permenant staff, perhaps worth considering, coz i heard their benefit quite good. Besides getting free cigarettes ration monthly...

But their IT department is very messy. Part of the management team sucks, thus dragging the whole team. And you get the change to remain standby from open shop to close shop, which could last from 7am to 8,9,10pm or 12 am. Which in the middle you just sitting there, and standing by.

My colleague from HP, they are contractors from HP, BAT ask a whole team of developers to come to their office ASAP but never give them assignment, they end up sitting there for whole month, what a way to spend money eh?

I myself also end up sitting in office doing nothing for whole first month, feel like in prison. Most of my time here, i only considered 10% of it is production which i really busy myself with works, they rest, all waiting game. There is a saying, dont finish too fast or you end up no work for the rest of the week.

Hope i didnt scare you, and hopefully you got a better position them me.

BTW, you better be a smoker, no non-smokers can tolerate that much of 2nd hand smoke.

Hahaha, that GSD you mentioned there is a very very very messy place. Management can hire a team of developers and leave them nothing to do sitting at office for a month. They can pay 20 people 200k daily, but my allowance since last year drag until 4 months later only approved, even thou its only about 50 bucks.

And can you handle 200k worth of headache? I mean really headache, you dont have your weekends, your personal time, need to attend training course on weekend also ask "why you seem like have plenty of commitment?".

Think twice when you planning to go in there. OR work there for a while so you can boast about yourself later on, never think long term overthere, well anyway, they dont think about hiring you long term anyway, most of them contractors there.

Oh, you need to suck lots of 2nd hand smoke too.

Gud luck
