Pros

Salary and bonus plan is fair. Most employees are really nice and helpful. Company gives the last week of the year as holidays for the employees in the HQ office.

Cons

It is impossible to get a promotion within the company unless you are a caucasian male. The CEO will only hire caucasian males for his leadership team. It's unfortunate because I've seen some really bright people passed up for leadership roles. CEO is not a very neutral person. Gave his daughter an internship in the highly competitive internship program and had the audacity to announce it in his intern welcome speech.
