Pros

Great employee perks including top class health insurances, free drinks and snacks

Cons

The worst working experience I've ever encountered. -No work life balance. In the interview, I was told there is awesome work life balance here, and almost no OT here which is totally not the truth. You are expected to work 10-12 hours a day. Though it's not enforced directly, it is implied by team lead and manager. They assigned you the overwhelmed work to do which is even out of your job scope, then told you that you can stop your work at 6pm. But the workload is definitely couldn't be finished before 6pm. Even you sacrifice yourself and work overtime every day, the work will never be completed. Because they keep assigning you the work more and more, and lastly give you the worst and false evaluation even though how hard you worked. -Poor management. Poorest management team, you couldn’t imagine a team can be leaded by these kinds of people: they are emotional, unprofessional, childish, lack of basic working knowledge. They couldn’t accept any different voice, and keep building “yes-man” around them. The leads keep making mistakes but all will become subordinate’s faults, that’s their way. -Office politics. It’s so funny even there is office politics in such a small team, and 2 team leads in the same team. The power-hungry leads use their subordinates as a tool to fight for their promotion. So, subordinates must become victims. -Border bullying culture Harassment behavior from team leaders and managers. Even they have an ethical team or HR department who should take care of this kind of issue, and you reported to them you have mentally exhausted due to endless border bullying, but no one take care of this issue seriously, and no one will care you, anyway you’re replaceable. And the team leader even told you, if you couldn’t endure then quit here.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
