Great Perks, Long Hours
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Beijing, Beijing, China
January 10, 2021
Pros: There are lots of benefits for staff. All meals, snacks, and coffee are free, even the gym. I had a nice work experience here. Although I was an intern, other full-time staff treated me fairly. People here are excellent and clever. They always work hard.
Cons: Hours are not well defined. No need to clock in, but most people work from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. It might be peer pressure. I don't feel good in this environment, actually. Sometimes it's just a useless way to force staff.
