Pros

Feel honored to see the company news daily

Cons

(1) Manager shouting at employees is a normal situation (2) Two-faced manager is also normal, difficult to communicate if you're overloaded with jobs, the manager only thinks because you're inefficient (3) No Mistake Culture: if you made 1 mistake, you're reviewed every day, sending you MO (Mistake Operation) or CAP (Corrective Action Plan) (4) It's not about One Team, it's about when there's a mistake, the manager must push this mistake to other departments (5) 12-hour working is normal, it's not just on the news, even if you work on weekends, still can't meet the deadline... (6) If you don't speak English well, you will still be hired because of relationship, they don't care English capability
