Be aware, this company has a track record of badly treating its personnel and simply not paying salaries. They are good at giving the ipression they are a professional company, but it is just a pretty looking fornt behind which there is nothing. Their "Leuser" project is still just as useless as wehn it was being developed by SFM, and there project in Kalimantan (Malinau) does not have any required approval. DON'T JOIN THIS LOOSING TEAM!!!
