Pros

A decent company when looking from outside.

Cons

You will feel like you are in a hell, if you're not from china or if you don't know Mandarin. Most of the positive reviews you see here are coming from Chinese employees (if fact they are right, because the company is very comfortable if you're Chinese). Favoritism, poor company culture, many employees don't speak in English.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is competitive. Benefits are average. The best is that it's very hard to be fired since the company in constant demand of new hires. Good career opportunities.

Cons

If you don't speak Chinese - you'll be a minority. Poor management - management wise, the company stuck in the start up stage. Everything is temporary or workarounds. Cost saving everywhere.

Business Outlook

Pros

looks like all the talented people already left the company. The existing Meru Managers/former employees do not know anything about the product.. If you know the domain.. you can rule here. flexible working hours. but,, lot of pressure on the new joinees.. because existing people do not know the product.

Cons

Managers put all the burden on the engineer.. and simply relax and looking for scape-goats.. least bothered about software process. Maintaining the existing product.. no encouragement to the new talent.
