Pros

This is a chinese sweat shop. This is only a pro for the company and profiteers.

Cons

This is a chinese sweat shop. Really if I am working more then 40 hrs a week it just means you do not know your business. This is supposed be a tech company but really it is just a sweat shop only it is here is the u.s. Shame on you!.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
