      Pros

      1. Able to offer renumeration above market average 2. Lunch catering 3. Good overall health insurance benefits 4. Metrics-focused

      Cons

      1. Toxic leadership - unclear business direction (depends on department, since the company is generating so much revenue?) 2. Political -vivid and obvious preference over performance for any recognition or promotion 3. Human resource (HRBP lead are from mainland china) - keeping up with the labour laws finding ways to bypass to manage people out 4.6 months performance review cycle - leadership can kick out employees within shorter time frame relative to other tech companies 5. Foreigners dilution - migration of Chinese nationals to Singapore offices

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will be given the chance to run multiple AI related projects, meet many people and have the chance to visit China at least once a year.

      Cons

      Extremely high pressure and extremely high work load. Deadlines are also extremely tight, most requests need to be completed within the day or two. Any request that takes longer is normally due to a massive project. However I think by far the most unacceptable thing is most of the meetings are conducted in Chinese. Despite this being a global company, it's obvious some things still have to remain in China, and the general project holders are all based there.
