Pros
- most people are nice and easy to approach
Cons
- Onboarding process need to be refined. For example, as an engineer, you need to join daily sync with the US side on your first day. However, the meeting invitation is only added by the end of first day(they need time to process, and I truly understand and respect that), turns out you'll miss most of the meetings on your first day - There's a huge information gap between different department, especially for onboarding process, you have no idea what you're going to do next. For example the internal daily sync, on first week, you need to join different meeting with different department every day, by the time you know the meeting, it's almost already over. - And because of the issue listed above, you'll get blamed for not finish the onboarding check list on time in the first place, which results in not showed up in the meeting without truly understanding the context(but you already finished the check list, it's just because the onboarding need time to process and apparently the management doesn't care at all). - You have to move very fast despite it's your first day, like it doesn't require any time to setup your environment(computer, email, etc.), and even ask you to setup the local development environment within 2 days. - Two days for setup local development environment sounds reasonable time limit, but it's not the case. The setup documentation have a lot of missing information, some of which even conflict with each other. You need to even dive into codebase to fix the issue yourself. They have no idea how old the documentation is, and if you didn't complete the task on time, it's all on you. - Even you're kind enough and willing to correct the mistakes in the doc, the management doesn't care at all. They nitpicking on things that are not even related to the task, and you have to spend a lot of time to explain the context to them. They didn't respect the correction to the documentation, they want you to be like "don't think, just follow my orders". If you're not this kind of person, you'll have a hard time to fit in.
