Vantaggi

- Hybrid -> WFH twice a week - Work from abroad for a month per year - Lunch, snack, coffee and tea for free - No strict dress code, just come as you are - Multicultural workforce and LGBTQ+ tolerance - If you don't allow the cons to get under your skin, work/life balance is pretty good

Svantaggi

- Pay could be better, as it does not match the salary range of other big tech companies - Micromanagement is hardcoded to the culture of the company; however, the weight of micromanagement is subject to the team lead. - Meritocracy is nonexistent. The performance reviews are a joke and are often used as a tool to force out employees and make excuses for paying lower bonuses, rather than as a reflection and improvement tool. An employee could do the work equivalent of going to the moon and back, and the performance review outcome will be an M for "constantly meets expectations" if not M- for "occasionally meets expectations", based on nonsensical KPIs or KPIs that are out of the employee's control. This practice is well-documented in the media and can be verified with a quick online search. - Career progression is at least slow, if not nonexistent. - "Always Day 1" is supposed to be a core cultural value that emphasises an entrepreneurial mindset and a startup-like approach to work. However, this is not exactly the case. This value is frequently used as a "swim or sink" excuse for poor managerial decisions and last-minute changes to crucial aspects of the job requirements.

Vantaggi

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Svantaggi

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
