Pros

Company with Innovations for various product. Thanks to the brains in US. The project team was working very hard to meeting deadlines for project artifacts. Clients are good and helpful. Cannot ask for more.

Cons

For IT projects running in Hong Kong, big projects run with limited resources. Extremely high pressure with low morale. All resources will be qualified zombies for the walking dead series.
