Pros

Good benefits, ample PTO, good work-life balance

Cons

Large company means many hoops to jump through for certain approvals, specifically attempting to transition to remote. Inconsistency with remote work approval; some employees were granted fully remote without question shortly after onset of COVID, while others were denied, when it was not clear as to when the cutoff or policy change occurred. Management did a poor job of communicating in a timely fashion that remote work might be denied.

Pros

- It "used to be" work life balance - great manager(only works if you work for the right guy)

Cons

- It used to be a visa-friendly, all of a sudden, the company decides to review everyone's visa extension without any further transparent notice. - Pay is way more lower than industry average. - It varies depends on team. Follow the right boss, you will be in heaven. Follow the wrong boss, you will enjoy "Chinese 996 management" - Old technical skillsets Don't come.
