Pros

- Nice office - Good stock price - Latest tech stack to work with

Cons

- Toxic culture. Had 2 townhalls recently just to explain and emphasize on the company core values. Additional courses and 'exams' to test people on knowledge of the company core values. And the company core values are attached in the office's wall everywhere. Dinner at 8pm to encourage ppl over work. 'Force' ppl to stay as late as 2am in the office during campaign. Hired a lot of fresh graduates and 'brain wash' them to over work. Typical Chinese company culture. - Chaotic management. Most managers are young and recently promoted who are super lack of management skills. Tech documentations are lacking and terribly maintained.
