Pros

Good benefits which includes free lunch. Work culture is great and people in it are friendly Cool and professional CEO

Cons

Micromanagement built within the actual system, tracking -each- minute of your daily/weekly tasks, they base this KPI at times over the quality and quantity of your outputs. They care more about you being in a certain "Status" for up to 5 hours day ie: they want you (not need) to be in "Moderation", rather than achieving deadlines and priotising tasks. This system punishes efficiency and multi tasking champions. When there are other tasks during the day such as Data work/Meetings/Coaching/reports etc. Zero. Zero room for growth as a QA currently 2023-24 based on my experience Management knows about this but they do not care about the employee's concerns. They emphasize on "well-being", but do not tackle real issues such as micromanagement but infact enforces it.

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.
