Pros

-3 times a week free Chinese lunch food. Kitchen is always filled with snacks and beverages -Learn quickly being in a start-up environment

Cons

-Lack of communication across executives. Arguing is especially common with the CEO. Luckily, she is never in the office anymore since her new baby. But she has no vision for the company (it's all over the place with what she wants). She seems to not care where the startup ends up in the future. The CEO is notorious in the office for being hard to work with. She is unapproachable and closed off and never shows appreciation for employees or interns that do a good job in the office. Also, if you aren't Chinese it's difficult to make acquaintances with people in the office. Most aren't fluent in English or English isn't their first language. You will feel extremely left out if you aren't Chinese. Work environment could be significantly better.

Pros

I got a lot of good experience as an intern for the company. It was good to get experience in a start-up environment. You get free lunch 3 times a week and the kitchen is always filled with good snacks.

Cons

Most of the company is consisted of engineers who are Chinese and only talk in Chinese to each other. So you will feel really left out if you cannot speak Chinese. The CEO and Co-Founder are married and tend to argue a lot with each in the office, which makes it very uncomfortable. The CEO also is not willing to listen to others who have different views or suggestions. She is not appreciative of your work and not approachable. It is very often that you are going to (and expected to) work overtime even on weekends if you are an engineer.
