Pros

you can say you're employed.

Cons

1) Chinese company. 2) If you're Asian you're amazing, if you're white you're alright. All others are not valued, over worked, and verbally abused. 3) No upward mobility especially if your a person of color. 4) Lied about RSUs for those that started with the company on the US side of the house. 5) must get everything in writing because they'll lie to you. 6) No cost of living adjustment. 7) Merit increases are below 2.5%. 8) Want Directors and Managers to hand out B's and C's during employee performance evaluation. Grading scale goes S,A,B,C,D. They deliberately want you to fail so they don't have to pay you. C's get pip'd. There's a quota that needs to be met when it comes to C's and D's. Even if you do your job as asked there is a chance you'll get a C. That means no merit increase and 1/3 of your bonus if lucky. 9) waste money on big building, won't hire more resources, but will complain office is empty. 10) Buildings only have 1 bathroom for 40+ employees. 11) No hybrid for US employees. Reason being this is a Chinese company and China works 9,9,6 format. They don't want US teams to work a 9-5 schedule or work remote. 12) 9 days paid vacation instead of standard 2 weeks. China gets 3 weeks vacation... Funny how that works. 13) Will not invest in adequate resources to do your job. Will be asked to do your job with bubble gum and spit. 14) You're better off being an influencer that will advertise for SHEIN. You'll get more benefits. 15) Micro-manage you. Track all your movements. When you came into office, when you left, how long computer was open, etc.

Pros

The company has some talented engineers and interesting technical problems. There are opportunities to work on large-scale systems, cross-region collaboration, and fast-moving business projects. Some coworkers were helpful and hardworking.

Cons

In my experience, senior management created a stressful and inconsistent environment. Expectations often changed without clear written criteria, and performance feedback could feel subjective rather than based on objective engineering standards. Some decisions appeared top-down and difficult to challenge, even when technical concerns or delivery risks were raised. I also felt that communication from leadership was not transparent enough, especially around performance expectations, project priorities, compensation decisions, and reorganization decisions. This made it hard for employees to understand how success was being measured or how decisions were made. Work-life balance was also a concern, especially when supporting teams across time zones. Employees could be expected to handle urgent work outside normal hours, while still being judged under office-based expectations. In my experience, employees did not feel safe raising concerns. After I raised concerns to HR/management, I experienced negative employment consequences soon afterward.
