Pros

Hardworking people. Some of them are normal people who suffered by daily 8am ~ 11pm meetings. It will give you some experience on consumer electronics, but that's pretty much it.

Cons

Garbage management, I can say half of the managers will push you to 8am~11pm work every day then himself is at home almost every day. Endless meetings which don't really require you to be there all the time. but you have to be there. A lot of failures in the cost-down process. Draining every hour out of engineer's spare time to cost down their product. Where is my share for doing so? Supply chain issues when changing the suppliers to elsewhere. By meeting higher demand's 'great design'. resulting in plundering every engineer's life expectancy. Garbage managers trying to ask HR if they can fire you immediately when you are trying to be kind and give'em a transfer time after you get a new job, they will still plunder your last hour working at there, even you work hard, they will still be picky and speak garbage words to you. No really need to work hard anymore once you decide to leave there since they won't find any problems out of their selves anyway.  This company doesn't really need to fire people, you will go by your own.

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
