Pros

Great team atmosphere, everyone willing to help and contribute.

Cons

Expectations. Four different titles on one person without a team to help. Extreme working days 10-12 hours. No internal processes for anything, all projects ad-hoc and briefs sent from HQ in one sentence of projects with deadlines often to be end-of-day (like write a whole campaign copy for a campaign you have not been involved in - even if your role is something completely different to a copywriter. Barely no induction to company and very different organisation and environment than working for an European company. Communications with HQ very hard because of culture and language barrier. And no one ever put their cameras on in meetings, very odd

Pros

Great pay. Free weekly lunches for salary. Lots of swag. Volunteer ops.

Cons

Chinese are fully taking over. For every quit/term an “intern” is replacing them. They treat associates like slaves.
