Pros

- There are some really talented people there - Above average compensation - Well known startup It is a good place to start if you can prove to them that you have the stuff. I would recommend this place for junior roles as you can learn from some of the brighter people in Hong Kong. Recommend for positive outlook for career path early on (pay, opportunity, future references)

Cons

- Relatively long hours - Questionable ethics - Tyrannical and untrustworthy senior management OK, this is where I would have to caution any candidates considering a position in this company. The senior management is definitely the worst I have experienced. They make decisions based on emotions and generally do not listen to suggestions; you are expected to just do what you are told. There were numerous decisions which would be generally considered unethical if found out by outsiders or users. There are also potential evidence of them spying on employees internally with various tools. Last of all, do not trust anything they say in regards to your own benefits. They will promise potential career paths which will be all talk. They will also make deceptive statements which inflates the precepted value of potential stock options (do take them ONLY as additional bonus after other compensation).

Not bad salary but not outstanding Fancy working environment for far from railway Free snack but no time to eat Unlimited leave but they will fire “low performer”

Cons

Poor engineering culture & moral Outsourcing development PM has no tech background and don’t believe in data Co-founders lies and no ethics. They will ask you less salary and more options. And they will buy back your options with low price.

Pros

Slightly higher salary Large traffic Named startup

Cons

- No ethics, 90% hot post crawled and used without any credit - No ethics, they granted stock options in early stage to acquire talent. Company buy those option back with unreasonable low price when the employee leave - no life no growth. Company expects all staff work in weekend which implies no time for personal learning. They don’t believe work life balance - decides by emotion. As a sv startup, they don’t believe data. Make decision by personal feeling
