Pros

nice and fun summer picnic at Disneyland and winter dinner at a fancy place, people are friendly

Cons

Expected to work 24/7 and around the clock. Not much appreciation for your hard work...and horrible schedules that expect you to sleep less than 6 hours a night sometimes, people gossip too much, upper management consists of inexperienced uneducated employees (ie. No degrees)

Pros

The working times are very flexibel and even home office is possible, but you will also need that to be able to take phonecalls with international colleagues. But great coworkers and direct manager.

Cons

Heavy workload with long working hours and Senior Management puts on a lot of pressure.
