Pros

A people first organization founded on values of growth and being a continuous learner.

Cons

Some folks have an unfair advantage. As an example, if you are Asian and brought up with similar values as the Founders, they will favor you.

Pros

Free food (until you get sick of it) and good benefits

Cons

Becareful of what you wish for... if you want to move up the ladder at panda, be ready to go through a rigorous and intensive training where you have to take a series of tests, homework assignments, and interviews to earn the title and benefits of GM. Didn't sleep for days studying and preparing for field evaluation where two administrators score you based on everything you do, say, or don't do. I was appalled when I found out that I had failed the evaluation because I was using too many fancy words or vocabulary when speaking. For the first time in my life, I felt as if i was being penalized for using words they deemed to be too complex (or they were struggling to understand). In fact, it was very difficult for me to understand the administrator at times due to their heavy accents. You will pass with flying colors if you can speak broken English and find ways to thank the company as if you owe them your life. The only thing I am grateful from my experience was learning how to say NO to your superiors' unrealistic demands. First and last job I will ever walk out on.

Pros

Great compensation, lots of personal development resources and growth opportunities are great. I've never been around so many people that started as servers or working front line that have become millionaires. Truly deliver on the mission.

Cons

It's not for everyone - there is a strong culture of continuous improvement.
