Horrible company with fake culture
Horrible company with fake culture
The CEO is the main pro. Otherwise, the benefits and offerings on campus are not even comparable to what other large companies in tech provide. The best perk is their fitness allowance, I guess. WLB is pretty good too because you don't really need to work, as the company is overhiring.
If you don't speak Mandarin, you're at a heavy disadvantage. 95%+ of the company is Chinese, so you'll have to get used to being in meetings where only Chinese is spoken and seeing the language spoken in the office and all your chat threads.
Also, it's very obvious that everyone at the company is forced to do what satisfies HQ (aka "China Team").
Try to be diverse. Stop enforcing East Asian work standards and culture in the US offices. Pay more.

You can only proceed to the next round after passing one. I had four rounds in total. The first two rounds were coding. The third round was with a hiring manager, and the fourth round was with the actual hiring manager. The process was a bit messy.
