Pros

Some talent engineers work in this company. The company has a good reputation in China because of the CTO, Tiancheng Lou.

Cons

1. Always over promising. They will promise you everything you want(except salary and option), but don't plan to fulfill it. A lot of engineers have leaved this company due to this reason. 2. Managers and leaders are only care about demo but not technology. 3. Managers encourage 996 working time(Working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days per week). The engineers who does not work enough time will get low performance. 4. Office politics happens everywhere.
