Pros

1. food ok 2. people ok, though most of them speak chinese 3. management ok, there're both top-down and bottom-up opportunities

Cons

Work time is very bad, although the hour is not lengthy, there is an implicit need to work at night so there're proper alignments and sync-ups with the Chinese team
