      Pros

      Good Pay and benefits. They treat you like a dog and if they like you, it can be nice since they will toss you a bone frequently. If you are ok with that and not getting your hands too messy, this place is perfect. Learn simplified chinese, it will help a lot.

      Cons

      If you are american, they treat you like second class. The companies software engineering force is all of the of the Hangzhou & Hefei offices. They move key individuals from these offices to operate in the United States on strictly chinese speaking teams. These teams are the ones the interface between the china offices & americas. All American National employees are just a front. Its two fold, they chinese employees work a 996 and they need some of these employees with the same work culture in the americas to move things along the way they work. Its a typical eastern work culture. If you are an american you will experience culture shock. Watch "American Factory" if you want to understand the work culture more. You need to move fast in an eastern sense. A western mind wont be able to compete. I place all this in the cons because they show they are an american company when they are not.

      Pros

      Native C++ client Bar is low for being a domain expert - knowledge the average Silicon Valley engineer should have is somehow in short supply there, so it's easier to stand out Pay was OK, while it lasted

      Cons

      Repeated rounds of layoffs, with departed colleagues' work being heaped on those remaining, left everyone miserable and stressed and just waiting for when our turn is next. My boss actually announced development was shifting to "startup mode", and when I asked if that means more upside or flexibility or equity or any of the other reasons you may choose a startup over a large established company, the answer was, "no, just more work" (!?!) Serious culture and power divide between overseas and California based development teams. Zero career growth investment in employees; no training or conferences except those offered by Zoom. Fired entire DEI team CEO attended Melania's movie premier
