Pros

High Competitive Salary Snacks in the kitchen Sparkling water with flavor - but you cant have any after 4 pm LOL! Nice latte Machine

Cons

Toxic & unprofessional leadership Favoritism for Asians, especially if you are Chinese. They think Americans are lazy. The president of the company plays favorites and is not discreet at all. for example, the man had the audacity to ask every single employee to shout "We love you (name of favorite employee)" on video, at the company holiday party because she was sick w.t.f.?! Not good for morale. No real president does that. The marketing team is full of people who don't know what they are doing - is a joke. The president has faith in them because they are Asian and he is training them. You have counterparts China who monitor your every move. they are supposed to be there to help you, but they are there to control you. No respect for time. They expect you to take calls during dinner time because their team in China is a bunch of robots who work 24/7, so that is the standard you are compared to for being a good worker.

Pros

The company has some talented engineers and interesting technical problems. There are opportunities to work on large-scale systems, cross-region collaboration, and fast-moving business projects. Some coworkers were helpful and hardworking.

Cons

In my experience, senior management created a stressful and inconsistent environment. Expectations often changed without clear written criteria, and performance feedback could feel subjective rather than based on objective engineering standards. Some decisions appeared top-down and difficult to challenge, even when technical concerns or delivery risks were raised. I also felt that communication from leadership was not transparent enough, especially around performance expectations, project priorities, compensation decisions, and reorganization decisions. This made it hard for employees to understand how success was being measured or how decisions were made. Work-life balance was also a concern, especially when supporting teams across time zones. Employees could be expected to handle urgent work outside normal hours, while still being judged under office-based expectations. In my experience, employees did not feel safe raising concerns. After I raised concerns to HR/management, I experienced negative employment consequences soon afterward.
