People friendly, even a new person joining will feel like he was the part of the group since long time

Review from Operations Dept
Top down needs to prioritize employees and quality, instead of profits and stock holders
Actually care about their people. It's obvious they don't by all the decisions they make. Even the corona virus response is more about profit than it is about keeping their people safe.
