Pros

Opportunity to develop applications that integrate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and cloud storage technologies. Hands-on experience connecting and integrating hardware devices with iOS applications. Exposure to end-to-end IoT workflows, including device communication, data synchronization, and cloud connectivity. Good learning environment for expanding technical expertise in both mobile and hardware-integrated solutions.

Cons

Strict office timing (9:30 AM to 6:30 PM). Attendance is tracked through a biometric device. Even being 1 minute late can result in a ₹500 salary deduction. This is allowed only up to 2 times; after that, it is considered LOP (Loss of Pay). Chinese management is quite strict and the work culture can feel toxic at times. Employees are not valued much. Every year, management promises a good hike if you perform well, but the same promise keeps getting pushed to the next year. Some employees behave unprofessionally, which can make the work environment uncomfortable

Pros

Family culture oriented. No weekends No Overtime potential or have to stay to finish work

Cons

Possible to work from home full-time or Hybrid for 99% of office; however management has micromanagement tendencies. Also team morale is a bit low, no driving incentives of a collective accomplishment, The office feels slightly segregated with different departments like we work for different organizations but do not.
