Pros

- "startup" mentality allows for greater project autonomy - western office atmosphere without typical Asian micromanagement; chinese language skills helpful but not essential - can tap on firmwide resources - competitive compensation with US benefits (social security, 401K, insurance, etc.)

Cons

- not as established as the Shanghai office in terms of branding, coporate culture, project wins - client relationships and project protocols are still work-in-progress - weak senior management and HR who rarely advocates on behalf employees

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
