Pros

At Alibaba, you will grow very fast, and the experience gained from the projects you engage in is truly valuable.

Cons

But the price is that you'll be extremely busy, and what's more, your supervisor will constantly engage in PUA (Pick - Up Artist tactics, here meaning psychological manipulation) with you.
