Pros

Good compensation, free food and snacks

Cons

- All requests and meetings are conducted in Chinese - Requests are all equally urgent, where leaders do not seem to help draw this line (if all urgent, none are) - Severely lack of manpower where people continuously quit, only seniors seems to be hired and these people rarely contributed to the actual work but only on the "management" side - Lower than average job security as compared to other companies in the tech industry
