Thank you for the feedback. We're glad the benefits and career progression are landing well, and we take seriously what you've raised about pace and management style. Hustle culture and work-life balance are things we're actively examining. We know that sustainable growth means protecting time away—PTO is genuinely respected here, and we're working to shift the messaging so taking it feels encouraged, not exceptional. On the management side, we're investing in leadership development to ensure leaders at all levels create space for their teams to thrive, not just push harder.

Pros

Its better than being unemployed

Cons

Everything at this company is so unnecessarily complex. Why do we need two different email addresses, Lark, Google Docs, VPNs, multiple internal systems, and 2FA every other hour just to get through a normal workday? The VPN times out constantly so you’re forced to log back in, random access gets revoked for no apparent reason, and then you’re left opening tickets just to do your job. Half the internal documentation is in Chinese, so good luck trying to figure anything out yourself. None of this makes us more productive. It’s just layers of friction piled on top of each other. Feels like half my job is navigating internal processes instead of actually doing the work. Non existent leadership. Like literally sometimes I forget who’s in charge, we on occasion will hear from our leaders during year end or at random times throughout the year but most of the time they are sight unseen. No work life balance because this company is a global company and people don’t respect work life boundaries. It’s a Chinese company which doesn’t really even try and hide it. The folks from China can be quite rude, sexist and generally very clueless to how to act professionally . It’s pretty sad
