Avoid at any cost
Avoid at any cost
Generally pays well and above average.
- Overtime working is common
- No sense of ownership for engineers
- Politics and culture are toxic
- Too much Chinese (documents and meetings are in Mandarin 80% of the time)
Treat your employees as your friends, your colleagues, and your friends, please. Not as slaves.

Software Engineer
The recruiter reached out on LinkedIn, and the process was quite fast. It was only during the interview that both the interviewer and I realized the team was not a good match for me. Rejected after two rounds and no feedback. Confused.
Software Engineer
Resume screening, online assessments (for some technical roles), and multiple rounds of interviews. The process can involve phone, video, or in-person interviews with a mix of one-on-one and panel formats.
Software Engineer
The first round was about OOD and discussing past projects. The second round involved a hard-level LeetCode question and past experience. The interviewers were quite supportive during the interview.
