Pros
*Flexibility - No harsh timetable, which means I can pace my work. - Everyone has their project with pretty clear objectives and expectations. This is not the kind of company that tells you to do what you are told to do. *Diversity - Staffs are from different nationalities (e.g. the U.S., China, South Africa, Isreal, the U.K., Malaysia, Ireland, Russia) and also different background (e.g. education, computer science design, marketing, communication). *Friendly and cosy working atmosphere - People are REALLY supportive. It's more like a family. I don't really like a megacity like Shanghai. But after joining in LearningLeaders, I've acquired a sense of belongingness. You have people to talk to and turn to. *Mentoring - Everyone has a supervisor who provides lots of support on both professional and personal life. - Clear objectives and guidelines are given so that I can pace my work without waiting for instructions and having no ideas what to do next. - Weekly one on one meetings make sure the project is on progress and it's quite a good time to summarize what have I done in the past week.
Cons
The recruitment process is quite long. One reason I took this fellowship rather than another offer is that I passed 4 rounds of interviews and invested a lot of time on my statement and survey. Then considering I finally made to this step, maybe the personality-job fit is high.
