Vantaggi
- Data-driven. The new product features came from data analytics. The product features experimented with A/B tests. Features were released to all of the users as long as they increased some of the critical product artifacts(e.g. user visit, user retention). - Good infrastructures. There were many infrastructures that improved the efficiency, such as A/B test, settings, a rich amount of 2nd-party components, and dev-ops. - Good documentation. I didn't love documenting until I entered this company. You could easily find answers to problems by simply searching the documents. The Lark Document was a great product. - Talent and hard-working coworkers. Most of the coworkers were friendly, talented, and hard-working, even the graduates. You always got motivated working with them.
Svantaggi
- Heavy workload. The working hours were mostly from 10:30 A.M. to 10:30 P.M. I always left the office at 10:30 P.M. because so many tasks to finish every day. The company offered 3 meals, so you didn't have to leave the office. - Lack of manpower all the time. I often felt overwhelmed but didn't have coworkers to delegate some tasks. In hiring new employees, HR didn't help much, we were on our own. - Hard to finish work at the office. Distractions by meetings, instant chats, and coworkers all the time. I sometimes got started work after everyone left the office at night.
