Pros

Salary, benefits, flexible WFH (during COVID-19).

Cons

Sales for SEA and other regions are managed by a very small team constantly working overtime because the time difference from head office in US and many deadlines. Salary is good but you have to sacrifice all your time. Be ready to have meetings 11pm onward or 5am and work on average of 16 hours per day, to be fast and precise, without minimal margin for errors. Conditions get worse on every quarter end, causing panic for upcoming stressful performance review. Once you do not exceed expectations you are indirectly asked to leave.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
