Pros

Company is wfh and most work is independent so there is flexibility some days. There are interesting projects to work on in marketing. Nice resume builder to enter marketing or fashion industry. Everyone I encountered here was friendly and easy to work with. There is a lot more diversity and different kinds of people now.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations from Chinese headquarters; Communication from upper management and team leader is nonexistent and everything is last minute here. Simple tasks and projects are a headache because hq is overseas and there is a delay due to time difference or language barrier. No real career development. You’ll learn how to do things the long hard way. Entry level pay is extremely low.

Pros

The company has some talented engineers and interesting technical problems. There are opportunities to work on large-scale systems, cross-region collaboration, and fast-moving business projects. Some coworkers were helpful and hardworking.

Cons

In my experience, senior management created a stressful and inconsistent environment. Expectations often changed without clear written criteria, and performance feedback could feel subjective rather than based on objective engineering standards. Some decisions appeared top-down and difficult to challenge, even when technical concerns or delivery risks were raised. I also felt that communication from leadership was not transparent enough, especially around performance expectations, project priorities, compensation decisions, and reorganization decisions. This made it hard for employees to understand how success was being measured or how decisions were made. Work-life balance was also a concern, especially when supporting teams across time zones. Employees could be expected to handle urgent work outside normal hours, while still being judged under office-based expectations. In my experience, employees did not feel safe raising concerns. After I raised concerns to HR/management, I experienced negative employment consequences soon afterward.
