      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working with Smart teammates, you got challenges but also inspired by these smart guys. Benefits (insurance,etc) are good. As one of the biggest buyer in the market, it’s easier to find support.

      Cons

      Career path not clear. Internal competition is cruel. People are not friendly even when you work as a team. No one tells you about your job coverage, you fight for everything.
