Pros

The company itself generally has good perks and compensation.

Cons

The e-commerce team is terrible. Extremely toxic and run by some of the worst leaders I’ve ever seen. They do not care about you in any way. If you take PTO, you’re viewed as an underperformer. There is zero opportunity for growth. Would not recommend to anyone.

Stay Far Away – Toxic and Dysfunctional Environment

Pros

Free snacks (if that’s a selling point). Brand name looks good on a resume, but that’s about it.

Cons

Toxic Work Culture: The environment is suffocating, with a strong top-down, micromanagement style that leaves zero room for creativity or growth. Horrible TA Partners: Total lack of collaboration and support. TA partners only care about hitting numbers and meeting impossible KPIs, regardless of candidate quality. They won't answer messages for days on end. Uncooperative Hiring Managers: No one wants to take interviews, making recruiting and coordinating frustrating. No Organization or Communication: Everything is chaotic. No streamlined processes, constant last-minute changes, and no accountability. Language Barrier & Bias: Most communication is done in Chinese, leaving non-Chinese speakers completely out of the loop. Worse, there’s blatant racial bias—was once explicitly told not to hire Indian candidates. Completely unacceptable. Metrics Over People: The only thing that matters is how many resumes you push through. Quality, culture fit, and diversity are ignored in favor of hitting arbitrary numbers.

Pros

Really talented co-workers and food...I guess?

Cons

Turning talented people into either burned out working machines or despicable monsters.
