Pros
  1. Great scope for new grads. I’m given the chance to work on feature or even component design within the first few months of work as a new grad.

  2. Great growth due to the previous reason.

  3. Colleagues are supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Cons
  1. Bad WLB: I have to work nights with the China team, and this trend is increasing.
  2. Colleagues: They are nice but toxic in some way. They work too long and sometimes even on weekends.
  3. Managerial philosophy is different. Check out more details on YouTube. Almost all former employees who made a “why I leave” video mentioned this.
