Pros

-good starter of new graduate -good benefit coverage -convenience location -free taxi and meal if you work after 8pm, you probably will entitle to 5 slips a week, 49 weeks per year, assuming you entitle to 3 weeks vacation

Cons

-Top three reason you don't want to work here is OT, OT and OT. Just endless OT. I don't get why not hiring more staff to support the tasks. I literally not seeing my wife before 8pm for a very long period on MON-FRI. Now is Friday 11:30pm, I am in front of a laptop waiting my partner come home. -If you in case have a family, make sure you talk with your family about the fact of your position. Hopefully they will do all the house work for you. You better not to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. A baby? you must be kidding. -Salary is low comparing to other companies in same industry.

Pros

Good career advancement opportunities given that you are capable. However, you don't get much support along the way, you either "sink or swim".

Cons

No work-life balance, you are expected to work late. If you are efficient, you'll be rewarded with more work. Doesn't matter what your performance is, you either don't get raise or get one that cannot even catch up to inflation. Turnovers are ridiculously high, loyal employees are suffering as a result of high turnovers, and are not being rewarded. Company roll out new systems and platforms before everything is tested, and trainings are basic, you'll be expected to figure out everything on your own. Painful experience for everybody.
