Pros

Fun and challenging problems every day. I get to work alongside and learn from some of the smartest people I know. There are so many ways to have a big impact on millions of people. A chance to participate in history.

Cons

Its really challenging to keep a good work life balance here, and that seems to be by design. It's a bit of a chaotic environment and isn't always the easiest place to get things done.

Cons

-- Too much to learn just to get familiar with all the stuff you need for work (SDE stands for Someone who Do Everything). -- China Dev team is not well supported by senior developers in the headquarter
