Pros

Working in TEG, especially main job scope is serving Tencent cloud.

Good explore, good colleagues, good lead and mentor(willing to give guidance and support).

Cons
  • 996 culture, keep OT and receive calls/msg after working hours, even during midnight
  • Culture shock due to overseas foreigners, other groups/business units will keep chasing the progress even though still got plenty of time.
  • Never plan/schedule well, just want fast pace to settle everything. Wasted a lot of time/energy to finish the tasks if there are some mistakes (kinda hardworking performance for China ppl?)
  • Small matter can create a large group in WeCom (similar to WeChat/WhatsApp), drag a lot of ppl to solve issues instantly.
  • Very low pay per working hour.
Advice to Management
  • pls stop toxic oversea workers

  • plan well and use 8 hours, 5 days per week to judge a project, not everyone can 996/007/24-7 support

  • give more money if u insist to keep fast pace to do everything.
