Pros
1. it is in the heart of silicon valley. So you can't live too far from it if you live anywhere in the valley 2. one of the cheapest travel deals you can get. Let me esplain this. If you're desirous of visiting China but don't have the time or the money to do so, you can visit this site and get the full experience -- complete with Mandarin Chinese spoken everywhere, ping pong in the work area, noodle sipping personnel walking about at lunch, farmer's market type atmosphere from time to time in the break rooms where staff do bulk grocery shopping at Costco and distribute it. 3. free dinners 4. free cup noodles
Cons
1. absolute and total lack of trust in the employee. 2. management behaves like the school headmaster -- walking around observing, ever ready to punish errant 'children'. 3. a staff (largely Mandarin speaking) that is fearful of discussing company/management strategy 4. undisguised preference for hiring Asian staff unless the hire in question is from a competitor 5. unfairly low wages when they hire laid off job seekers 7. micro-managing managers. A farmer CTO used to spend considerable amount of time deciding which brand of coffee to buy 8. tendency of management to hire family members. The CEO's (nearly) whole family worked there once 7. a generally cheap and lack-lustre place
