    The good thingsGood compensation, Good workplace culture, good work-life balance, Good location. Lots of learning experiences and room for growth.
    The challengesHas room to improve in terms of housing services and quality for the staff. The recreational amenities are very limited and poorly maintained. Company hospital services are downright horrible and incredibly disappointing, that we call the hospital an oversized pharmacy.
