Pros

Exposure to large-scale distributed systems and architecture.

The work itself is decent in nature.

Cons
  • Very likely, you are in a meeting with China engineers multiple times a week. It’s a terrible setup for US-based employees.
  • You may be stuck in a very toxic environment with toxic management.
Advice to Management

Some managers simply don’t care about their direct reports. This creates a very toxic environment.
