Cool among young, naive people and sounds like a rocket ship. 2. Tons of freedom for interaction designers, visual effect designers, etc.Cons: 1. Heavy communication (docs included) depends on Mandarin; this is a no-go for non-native speakers. 2. Awful work-life balance, with literally meetings at 7 AM and 10 PM with HQ in China, who don't really speak English at all (LOL). 3.
