Pros

Lots of swags Attractive pay Interesting business WLB is still better than other Chinese companies in Singapore Good opportunity to improve your Chinese if you are interested to

Cons

Still a lot of reliance on Chinese teams A lot of documentation in Chinese Increments are not guaranteed Fast pace of development might cause a lot of tech debt accumulation and fire fighting and even make a lot of work you’ve done obsolete in just months Compliance to data privacy and protection is still quite manual and tedious process Manually maintaining mirroring pipelines across multiple data centers is very manual and tedious
