Pros

Can involve in the core engineering projects rather than "supports", compared with other similar high-tech companies in China.

Cons

Compensation package is lower than other companies at the same reputation level; Promotion generally depends on your performance, but "political" factors are also very important. And sometimes fast promotion is prohibited by the top line management, but sometimes it's just OK, that's unfair.

Pros

Very exciting work, so much so I work 20hours a day. No distractions from silly/fun events. Food is meh so I can focus on work. Coffee is also very mid, not good, not bad but mid.

Cons

Not enough work, I only work 20 hour a day, I still have 4 hours to sleep. And on the weekends, we still have 3 hour leisure time. We still accept People who gets hired expecting to work only a measly 80 hour week.
