Pros

There's an incredible amount of learning resources available to everyone. On top of that, we use Lark/Feishu, which honestly feels like the most advanced productivity suite in the valley right now. It makes a huge difference knowing you're backed by a company that's all-in on AI and always working with the most cutting-edge tech.

Cons

Evening meetings with China and Singapore team.
