Pros

The pay is very decent and the general working culture here is pretty flexible as long as you get your work done. The matter of if you are able to get your work done in time is a different story.

Cons

The office is predominantly Chinese (from China). I am Chinese myself from SEA and I speak Mandarin at home with my parents and siblings and speak Mandarin with my friends as well. However, I still struggled alot here because 80% of documentations are written in chinese and the "proper" China accent is just so hard for me to understand. Meetings were brutal and reading documentations were the same. It could be because I was grouped in a predominately Chinese team but I cant imagine someone not knowing mandarin being in my position.
