Pros

Honestly, I cannot think of anything

Cons

Frankly, I do not even know where to begin, my cheerful outlook on life was really destroyed when I joined this company. When I say that, "you do not matter" I really mean it. You will not be important to this company, you will be treated without any respect and manners. Sitting alone in silence in the freezing cold office, having your every move monitored was horrible. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without being judged. You dont have any friends because its looked down up if you hang out in a group. As an extrovert, I seriously felt lonely and bored and the only interaction were from "tutors" that constantly laugh at you, judge you from China. Their attitude towards you is completely demoralizing and assign you unnecessarily amount of work just when it time to go home, and yes you are micromanaged to the toe. Your job is to bother senior researchers, doctors, professors, surgeons and rush them as if I was their boss, its embarrassing. Knowing that, what I was doing was completely unreasonable, I dialed it down just to get in trouble by my "tutors" in China. I have been through under the bus by my own tutors and publicly shamed in international group chats about my performance....I have never been so embarrassed to be associated with MDPI.
