Great place, but not for everyone
Great place, but not for everyone
Opportunity to work on exciting challenges at a global scale.
Fast-growing company and product.
People are mostly very down-to-earth and inclusive.
While compensation is not industry-leading, it is still pretty decent.
Language friction when working with teams that operate entirely in Mandarin. While managers are great, many lack international experience, having only worked in Mainland China.
Benefits lag behind those of other large tech companies. Mobile phone and data plan are not provided by the company, even though employees are required to use them for work.
Push to internationalize faster and harder. Operating bilingually does not work.
