Pros

Payments were always on time.

Cons

- Management style: Extremely hands-on with very limited autonomy. Work is monitored closely, and frequent check-ins or requests to share screens are common. Collaboration with certain managers xinye can be very demanding and mentally exhausting. Candidates should carefully consider whether this management style aligns with their expectations. - Expectations: Availability is often expected beyond regular working hours, including evenings and weekends, which can make it difficult to maintain a healthy work–life balance. - Work environment: The culture emphasizes control and constant oversight rather than trust and independence. This can create a high-stress atmosphere for many employees.
