Pros

1. Great scope for new grad. I’m given the chance to work on feature or even component design at the first few months of work as a new grad 2. Great growth due to previous reason 3. Colleagues are supportive and helpful and knowledgeable

Cons

1. Bad WLB: have to work nights with China team and this trend is increasing 2. Colleagues: they are nice but toxic in some way. Works too long and sometimes even on weekends. 3. Managerial philosophy are different. Check out more details on YouTube. Almost all former employees who made a “why I leave” video mentioned about this
