Pros

Higher salary than the major competitor in Hong Kong. fruits to eat on work-life balance day.

Cons

Tons of projects. Deadlines are all tight. No compensation for OT. All people are expected to work late and work on holidays to meet the deadlines. No formal training. Very high turnover rate. Stressful environment.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
