Pros

- young crowd of engineers, some filled with potential, a lot of them are great people - growing company, has expanded globally over the last 5 years - exposure to sophisticated hardware and components - vacation days are flexible - Frank the CEO is a great guy, but you will probably never see him anyways

Cons

- very little structure - very limited resources - very limited perks/benefits - no sick days (you can use PTO) - job roles are unclear - some work spaces are in a really bad environment

Pros

Very relaxed dress code for warehouse workers. Hardworking underlings. Provide free dinner or lunch during Overtime.

Cons

Bad management (both upper and middle). Bad culture to be in if you're not Chinese or a male. Very two-faced. Too many politics and too many people trying to be managers when they don't know a thing about what they're supposed to be managing. High turnover rate. It is very sad that you cannot even trust your teammates -- everyone is out to snitch on the next one, its like crabs in a barrel. They also run this company like it is in China. Below market rates for pay.

Pros

If you go the extra mile to work hard, you are definitely compensated(albeit not much). Company has a friendly atmosphere, the head of engineering is one of the nicest person I've ever met(KT). During lunch I listened to him talk about philosophy/religion every day, very enlightening. I think he changed my perspective on life. Company has a get stuff done attitude, which I liked. During non-busy times, you get the opportunity to do some self learning/soul searching(as long as they don't have to pay for it)

Cons

Below average compensation overall. I think even my manager realizes this, he has given me some off the book benefits, but extend of it is not much compared to a real pay check. ( In my current job and got a 300% raise, Now I make 4 times what I used to. This is not achievable in ZT) Personal connection gets you further than actual abilities. Lack of transparency, HR agreed to pay me a higher salary that what was actually paid. I didn't know until I got my check(this practice is very unprofessional) Although company lists 401k and medical benefit, no one in the company actually gets them. (401k is something like 1;1 match totaling 3%). Medical is ridiculously expensive and not the best(like 350+ per person). These benefits are not worth having(they just mentioned it to have it on the list)
