Pros: Smart coworkers, lunch and dinner provided.

Cons: Work-life balance is awful. Lots of impromptu meetings on the weekends with coworkers in China. Pretty much all major business decisions take place at the Chinese HQ, and these meetings are conducted in Chinese. You will feel very disconnected from the product and culture of the company if you are not a Chinese-speaker. Little-to-no formal code review process; the company is more focused on short-term results than long-term maintenance. Bugs are everywhere on the development pipeline with little documentation for them. They are reported through group chat and will only be addressed once coworkers in China have time on their hands (very rare). Compensation isn't on-par with the rest of Silicon Valley.

Pros: Good pay; your colleague and your boss will be rich.

Cons: Long working hours can negatively impact your life.

Pros: Great learning opportunities, a strong engineering culture, talented colleagues, and exposure to large-scale systems. The company provides opportunities to work on challenging problems with significant business impact and learn from people with strong technical expertise.

Cons: Work-life balance can vary significantly depending on the team and project. Priorities can change quickly, processes may become complex at scale, and organizational changes can sometimes create uncertainty around long-term planning.
