Though many of the workers who worked in NESPAK they said to me this is one of the most corrupt institue in pakistan and they always exploit their workers.
Why we have no credible institute in our country why?
I wish and pray that govt should revise his decisions
Being exploitative doesn’t mean that the firm is corrupt.
Nespak is the biggest Consultancy firm in pakistan and it is a very good benefit for employees and nespak could not comprise quality policy., and curaption free semi govt company.
Being exploitative does not mean that the firm is corrupt.
