Too much office politics, Avoid it at all costs

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Product(NewsBreak app) growth was good, some engineers are good. Growth team was top notched.

Cons

Too much office politics in China Office(Beijing). Leader was unclear where the product was going. The early hires at company refuse to take in any new ideas. If you were new to the team, nobody gonna help you familiar with the environment. ONLY the early recruits were trusted. And you always have to work overtime and the leadership take it for granted. No work-life balance at all for engineers. Also, you worked was basically following every order they gave you, no questions asked. And the worst thing above all, the leadership team is not HONEST! (product stats, your comp, etc)
