Pros

Working in TEG, especially main job scope is serving Tencent cloud. Good explore, good colleagues, good lead and mentor(willing to give guidance and support).

Cons

- 996 culture, keep OT and receive calls/msg after working hour, even during midnight - culture shock due to oversea foreigner, other groups/business unit will keep chase the progress eventhough still got plenty of time. - never plan/schedule well, just want fast pace to settle everything. Wasted a lot of time/energy to finish the tasks if there are some mistakes(kinda hardworking performance for china ppl?) - small matter can create a large group in wecom(similar to wechat/whatsapp), drag a lot of ppl to solve issue instantly. - very low paid per working hour.

We are really serious against the 996 culture. Pls talk about this to your local HR contact. Employees' health is out no.1 concern in order to build a positive culture.
