      Pros

      Perks are great, lots of merch, ‘clout’, above market pay.

      Cons

      Golden handcuffs are real, but not worth it when the rubber meets the road. Toxic work environment, fear-driven Motivation and bullying common in many departments. Big egos clash and the business suffers accordingly. Poor communication and understanding between US and HQ in China.

      Pros

      Compensation and that's about it.

      Cons

      No respect for non Manadarin speakers in certain teams. It is a lottery if you land on a team filled with Mandarin speakers. Beyond the language issue, the company is just plain toxic in many ways. Example: Managers yelling at people in group meetings.
