Pros

If you're having trouble landing your first engineering job, this is a completely acceptable place to start your career. Once you have already worked as a professional engineer at DiCon for a year or so, it will be much easier to find your next job. My managers were kind to me. My colleagues were smart and lovely to work with. I never worked weekends. I was happy with my salary, though many of my colleagues were underpaid.

Cons

You're going to have a tough time here if you don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese. I only speak English, and it was very lonely, stressful, and confusing. The engineering managers either do not know how to develop talent, or they just don't care to try. There are no opportunities for advancement, increased responsibility or growth into leadership positions. I was always either under-supported, or micromanaged, depending on the project. Very few engineers stay for longer than one year, and the ones that do stay aren't happy about it. The benefits were not good. The company's core value is obedience.

Pros

It was a job, that's about it.

Cons

Soul crushing. Just a horrible morbid sterile work environment.. Very low staff morale, everybody kept to themselves and pretty much worked in isolation from everyone around them. Insane levels of micro management and manipulation. No real career development, no positive management. You're a number, not a person. No reward or appreciation for a job well done while conversely, anything remotely wrong is pinpointed and highlighted to excess. The only job i have ever had where i pulled sick days just to avoid going into that hell hole.

Pros

Impressed by amount of technology, knowledge, and capitol for a company of its size. Company has survived the test of time and constantly has new technology and products in the pipeline. Most of us work on established as well as new products which helps keep things balanced. Management pushes "vertically integrated" message which means I get to expand and grow beyond my immediate field.

Cons

Small teams means much independent work and minimal micro-management. Constantly challenged to solve problems independently which isn't for everyone.
