Pros

Many opportunities to travel to China for work

Cons

Must be known to home management before reports are acknowledged as legit. Time frames for development were never realistic. Hiring was done solely by recruiting kids out of college even when positions that require experienced, senior personnel is needed.

Pros

I didn’t work here. I just want everyone to be aware that they use AI and that they intend to fire more than half their staff for a lot of their games. They’ve already done this with Marvel rivals.

Cons

AI USAGE. RACISM TOWARD NON-ASIANS.
