Cons
1. Unprofessional HR Department and Engagements From the initial offer negotiation to the final day of employment, the HR department demonstrates a consistent lack of professionalism. There is a noticeable gap in domain knowledge within the HR team, with instances of misinformation that led to employee benefits being withdrawn, despite prior communication that suggested otherwise. 2. Late-Night Meetings with China HQ Although the Atlanta office serves as the U.S. HQ, product development and engineering are still primarily focused in China. You’ll need to adjust to the China timezone for meetings and product discussions. Different teams may have varying compensation policies for late-night calls, but these are handled on a case-by-case basis. 3. Confusing Product Development Roadmap In the highly competitive warehouse automation space, the company is constantly pushing out innovative products. However, a recurring issue is the release of new product portfolios before the previous ones have matured, creating significant operational challenges for teams responsible for designing or implementing the solutions. The product development roadmap often seems to be driven by a desire to keep up with the latest trends or "eye-catching" designs in the market. The company would benefit from identifying its unique offerings and spend time in strengthening it rather than constantly chasing new product waves.
