Pros

Interesting product, young company with young employees. Fast growth. Chance for travel, international experience. Popular product with industry leaders. Good pay and good titles that don't match experience.

Cons

Was a hyper-masculine, poorly run environment with language and cultural barriers. Young management meant well, but had 0% experience to back up super fancy titles. Was asked repeatedly to hire "the pretty" interviews to be my assistant, not the most qualified. Extreme favoritism, and expected to be available 24/7 for China, whose day began just as the workday should be ending. Extreme bureaucracy, disrespect for legal wages for production, could take over a month for contractors to be paid. Very disorganized, HQ could not communicate what it wanted, and what it wanted changed monthly. Lots of busy work and muddled jobs, expectations. You're expected to devote your entire self to the company. Ignored problems, thought saying everything was great would make it great. Fear to point out issues, make fixes. Couldn't use normal tools like Google because of Chinese firewalls. Wanted to look like a successful company without investing the time or money. Felt like we were "playing company. Would hide taking visitors to strip bars, "lose receipts," etc. Heard in the last year this has improved with new management.
