Pros

1.3 times higher salary than last job but more than 2 times workload, not to mention overtime

Cons

-Every week has early day shift (6-3 pm), normal day shift (9-6 pm) rotate. Each month also has one week night shift (3-12 pm). Usual overtime at least 1-2h without pay. Completely destroying personal life and bad for health. Some teams also have 12h over night shifts (Tip: look at the offer, it never mentions working hours/days per week, so I would recommend be sure to clarify it before accepting) -Culture to promote overtime without pay -A lot of managers, and they all come to assign you tasks -> usually one engineer answers to multiple supervisors -though there are sicks days, management usually don't like you take them -Reduced benefits compare with those hired 2 years ago when the retaining bonus is about 4 times of current ones
