    Very long hours work with and little to appreciation, very political environment newcomers find it hard to tap into the hegemony, very racest towards non-white employees.
    The good thingsGood systems to monitor
    The challengesLack of planning, too many big egos. No work-life balance, 14 to 16 hours days are considered normal.
