Pros

- Above average pay for a fresh grad - Excellent mentors (for me at least) - Relevant real impact projects - A major contender in Big Data and Telecom Infrastructure - Direct application of skills learnt from uni - Nice building, office, and perks

Cons

- Politics: most people are just trying to earn a high salary. So they put on a mask, say some nice words, and try to dodge any unsavory experience. Don't expect Ren Zhengfei's famous directness. Draw a big biscuit. - Frequent OT, not due to the workload, but inefficiency. For example, a 2-day task could be extended to 1 week or more (with OT). Inefficiencies include: 1. Poor communication: one guy says A, the other says B. 2. Disagreement is discouraged: If you say "But he wants A?" then you're hard to work with. 3. No guidance at all: Wanting work-related details is like praying to God for an answer. (mentors not included) Additions: - No basic standard procedures for development at all. - The manager and team lead constantly move the goalpost on a rush project they had more than 1 year to do. - Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight. If you join here, make sure to record every virtual meeting and get it in writing. I OT on national holiday for bs. - I lost my appetite after 1 month and 2 weeks due to toxic workplace culture. Idk what they learned from IBM, but I don't think this is it Mandarin is the dominant language, but English is still widely used.

Pros

Performance bonus, and can have networking. They have lots of events and opportunity to attend trainings.

Cons

The work environment is very toxic, your boss will not empathize with you but will push you always.
