This is a small company run by a CEO who is playing a very clever game with his business. The idea is: hire inexperienced workers, pay them well below national average salaries with meager benefits for technical jobs, and then produce publications for the lowest bidders in international academia. These employees are often given unreasonable expectations and expected to produce publications with often poorly presented manuscripts and materials (lowest bidder material), but because the company seems like a foot in the door for these young people, they put up with it. It's a vicious cycle. It's like an abusive relationship, or a vampire, feeding on you but keeping you alive. The CEO presents himself as a hands-off leader who can one month reward employees with commendations and a loosened leash for their performance, and then the next drive quantities of people to quit, or even in some instances, go on a haphazard firing spree.
