Nice package: about 2x of similar jobs in other companies Stable career: although competitive to get promotion, but also hard to get fired.

Cons

High pressure: lots of issues coming out every day need to be solved, reviewed, reported. Overtime work is common. Less respect: it is basically a manufactory with military management style. No upward KPI review.
