      Pros

      It is a great place to work with many talent people. Usually people are very nice and willing to share their experience to help you at work and your career growth.

      Cons

      Working hour is generally long and you are expected to work under pressure. It is not easy to achieve work life balance.

        Business Outlook

        Pros

        - you will learn a lot - teamwork oriented - industry leader - people are open and supportive (but the closer you move to business the more close people are)

        Cons

        - not the best payer - very hard to get promotion - if things go wrong - people are laid off very quickly and massively - the closer to business to longer hours your work

      Hello, Please be kind. I’m so out of the loop and beat down, and may have posted this in a wrong group. I have been at my job 11 years, applied for a new job out of my organization. Posting closed last Mon. Tues at 4:40 they emailed to request an interview and wanted my top days/times for upcoming M-W. I responded with pref Wed afternoon as 1, Tues early or late as 2 or 3. I have not heard a response. I have to figure out an excuse to go on Tues to leave work. Is this normal to keep hanging on?

      hi , I’m new here 👋 I have an interview coming up and I’m struggling on how to answer the “tell me about yourself statement question.” I personally don’t like to talk about myself and have the tendency to start talking about me but then I end up talking about what’s on my resume 🤦‍♀️ any advice ?

      Hi, I applied for a job at a small business warehouse and I had a phone call with them about 1.5 weeks ago. It went well and a few days after, I got an email asking me when can I do an in person interview. I replied the following business day and gave them three dates. However, it’s been 4 days and they have not responded back to my email response. I even sent them a follow up and nothing. What does this mean and what should I do?
