Pros

There's an incredible amount of learning resources available to everyone. On top of that, we use Lark/Feishu, which honestly feels like the most advanced productivity suite in the valley right now. It makes a huge difference knowing you're backed by a company that's all-in on AI and always working with the most cutting-edge tech.

Cons

Evening meetings with China and Singapore team.

Pros

Good compensation and great people.

Cons

Incompetent leadership who has no idea what they're building or how to do it. Uses wrong tools for the job and thinks short term. Hires almost exclusively Chinese people.
