Pros

-Generous AL ( be careful if you leave midyear and you will be punished for taking AL and they take their money back) - Dental and Health insurance

Cons

The company lacks transparency during hiring in their procedures such as salary and pay cut offs. They discourage individuals from talking to each other about their salaries as it appears to be different for everyone. Management does not care about employees and only worry about metric and pushing business. Work hours are long, and there is little support when it comes to some of the gruesome content you may be exposed to. The company tried to offer food services but have contracted bad companies where people stop eating office food due to getting sick all the time (little done to rectify the situation). They expect people to be in the office till midnight, and do not care to help with transportation if you leave outside London (ie taxi only restricted to London boroughs). Several people would ask to work from home during the late cycles and they would not accept requests or care about safety. Things keep changing for the worst, from forcing people to work in the office during late shifts, poor wellness support, micromanaging, being ‘punished’ for being rotad off on office days as you have to make up the day. This is truly been a nighmare working for them. They do not care about anyone’s mental health.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
