Pros

This places reminds me of Google early days (where I worked for 10 yrs before joining TT). So much growth potential, lots to be figured out, a bit chaotic and not a lot of process and infrastructure in place.. But if you want to optimize for being able to help shape the TT future and feel proud that you helped built certain areas of the business from the ground up, this is the place for you! People also always worry about work life balance, that was my big concern too. I think TT is making an effort to improve here. Also the managers here are reasonable. If I have 1-2 evenings where I have to take later calls, then I can not schedule early meetings the following day so it's not expected that you work around the clock. There's a lot to be done, but just like Google, it feels like impact and progress are much more important than hours worked.

Cons

Being an Asian led company, culture wise it's just less open and transparent than other western companies. For example Google would have weekly company meetings where employees can ask any questions to the C-suite. Here those opportunities are far less frequent and often curated. But I think this is also because of the language barrier, not just lack of willingness to be open.

Pros

Experience working in a fast-paced environment

Cons

Negative company culture, mandatory RTO 5 days a week, no flexibility. People get burned out fast and leave fast. Evaluations are always negative and based on biased comments from colleagues, not on actual constructive feedback. No work-life balance.
