Pros

- Offering the highest salary among all the other jobs for fresh graduates in Taipei. 2x more than the second highest one I could find. - Providing opportunities to be promoted and relocated to oversea offices, either US or SG.

Cons

- Low job security. Can be let go anytime without notice (though with compensation better than labor law). - High spiritual pressure, due to being ranked all the times in many dimensions.

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
