Business Outlook

Pros

Fast culture, lots of changes (good for people who are flexible and adaptable). Great snacks and drinks in the pantry always. Fast growth, if you perform well you'll really shine, but there are limits (see the cons). Listens to your needs (in terms of career path and growth). Lots of training.

Cons

On higher levels (close to most senior levels), Asians tend to get overlooked and higher management often promotes those who's worked in North Americas or Europe for more senior management roles.
