Challenging jobs in high pressure, which makes you learn at high speed with an acceptable package
Challenging jobs in high pressure, which makes you learn at high speed with an acceptable package
Nice package: about 2x of similar jobs in other companies.
Stable career: although competitive to get a promotion, it is also hard to get fired.
High pressure: lots of issues come out every day that need to be solved, reviewed, and reported. Overtime work is common.
Less respect: it is basically a manufactory with a military management style.
No upward KPI review.
Please pay more time and respect to employees. Focus not only on results but on processes. Otherwise, it will make people come and go frequently.

Depends on your job scope. For engineers, they will ask questions based on your background. For managers, they will ask what kind of projects you have led before.
