Pros

The work environment is open and dynamic. Colleagues are competent and are willing to work as a team. There are various perks, including gym membership, daily meals etc.

Cons

Those based in Beijing normally have to come to work every other Sunday, which is fine by me but might be a downside for some. The company will have to resolve the image issue (negative media coverage) in the long term.
