Review 1 of 5

Well the review is a bit late but I still feel other people need to know it. I had an appointment with the consulting service last November at 19:00 on someday with a person named David. When I arrived at 19:00 no one told me who David is or when my session would start. There was a guy kept chit chatting with other female employees and he turned out to be one should speak to me! Eventually we started our session at 19:25 after he pretty much enjoyed his talking with different women. Could it be more unprofessional ? I didn't get any useful professional advice from him and all that he said was about the process, which I can google by myself. Disappointing and time wasting service!
