How to Determine If a Company’s Culture is Good before even joining this Company?

Joining a company with the wrong culture can waste your life.

It can make you deal each day with people that you do not want to deal with, it can make you feel under pressure most of the time, and can make you work for 9, 10, or even 12 working hours each day and mess up your private life without even feeling appreciated or moving forward.

Not only this, bad company culture can push each employee to focus on his or her own interest instead of working as a team.

Your Goals are Big? Here is the Main Reason Why People are Scared to Dream

Several weeks ago, my cell phone service provider sent me a message about a possible internet package upgrade. During this time, my internet offer included only 5 GB per month. In the new upgrade, the internet limit will be 10 GB per month.
