      Pros

      Good environment, free coffee, cola and chance to visit HQ in US (depends on the department). Flexible working time.

      Cons

      Salary is not attractive, comparing to Huawei with the same level. Relationship between CDC and HQ is subtle. IT is not fancy any more. Future is obscure.

      Pros

      Decent salary. You'll also quickly gain valuable experience in how not to operate on your next job: a lesson that will serve you well in future roles.

      Cons

      Old-fashioned work culture where you're expected to execute without question. Excessive overtime work, release cycles are chaotic, and there's little appetite for improving systems or sustainability, it's all about following orders rather than thinking critically.
