Business Outlook

Pros

Not bad salary and compensation plan. Low car leasing cost. Pretty long vacation. Good opportunity for business trip and relocation.

Cons

Management is very complicated and generally is not professional. Permanent reorganization is regular for our department. No team spirit. You work under pressure like in the start-up and stuck on each simple action because a huge company bureaucracy.
