Pros

Benefits like private medical and dental insurance, gym memebership

Cons

- Micromanagement and constant harassment and critisim - Team leaders have 0 people skills - Poor training and unrealistic targets - Unethical HR departement, they did not investigate a claim for harassment for 3 months and finally, when I decided to leave as it became unbearable, they contacted me to ask me for more details about my complaint. A complete joke, honestly. - Whatever happens, it is always the moderator’s fault (moderators are called “community content management specialists”) - you are expected to meet hourly targets, not just daily, weekly etc.. If you watched less videos than you’re supposed to do for an hour ,your TL will message you and ask you to explain why you watched a smaller amount of videos - you need to work 3 weekends each month, sometimes 4 - holiday booking is almost impossible, you can book holiday only on specific days like Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November and February lol The rest of the dates are blocked. When you speak to your TL about that, they say there is low coverage and there is nothing they can do. Overall, a nightmare.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
