Pros

Maybe free lunch and dinner

Cons

Worked for over a year and the team I worked for, backstabbed me and I lost my job because of the evil team and immature and evil management and the corrupted HR. The manager was the worst and most unprofessional manager I have ever worked for. This is not a made-up story, the environment is extremely toxic, controlled by CN based people and too much politics and backstabbing. They expect you to work 12+ hours like a slave. There is absolutely no empathy, sympathy for the employees especially if you have family / kids. If the company feels like you will open the facts to the public or complain (saying the truth), they will throw you in a S..hole. They make your life so miserable that you have no other choice but to quit. They use the performance review technique to give you a poor performance score that puts you on a one-month probation which you either need to resign or they will fire you anyways. Don't fall for the name and fancy stuff you hear, this is not a place you want to work, you will regret your life.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
