Pros

Allowd work remotely, less meeting, that's it

Cons

1. compensation is heavely bellow market rate 2. Push too hard for everyone, it doesn't matter what you compesation is, just push, push and push, no work-life balance at all, so just ask for as higher compensation as you can 3. Amost have to work at night 5 days per week to coordinate with China team 4. Manager is not reasonable at all, just expect to delivery the result on-time, it don't matter what happen, even employee sick, long chinese holidys week, wrong estimation, didn't get third party credential on-time, all doesn't matter. You just to get it done. Chinese style management, when the job not done, always developer's perfromance issue. 5. Big code repsitory, no microservice, developers compete to merge the code and the master branch break every week, if not everyday 6. Lost of documents, that's good, lots of duplicate and not in good shape 7. everyone is busy for their own job, so don't expect to get support from other guy 8. not easy for new guys to catch up, think twice 9. interview is easy, they don't care that much, grap some one and push hard

Pros

Nothing about this company is worth noting.

Cons

One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
