      about the company

      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has a great atmosphere to work and balance your life. During the pandemic, the company can offer you a chance to work at home, at the same time, the benefits include the flexible time off, which you don't have a specific time range for your yearly leaves.

      Cons

      The working stress is a little large sometime, as for a specific department or a business unit, there would be not enough people in some regions.
