Pros

It would be nice if the co had lots of great characteristics, but in truth there are very few. The culture was one aspect that used to be very good but the new owners of the company have made a mess of that too.

Cons

I see other negative comments written below about the chairman of the co. I can affirm those to be accurate, sadly. He's just appalling and is patently bringing the co down. Too many negatives to list about this employer. 1) in past 6 months, the CEO of the co (hired in Q2 2015) was fired due to disagreements with Chairman, the CFO of ~5 years resigned from the co, and many other prime staffers have quit the co also; 2) too many of the most capable and intelligent staffers have left the co for better futures elsewhere. The outcome: a major dumbing down of organization in past 12 months. And the few talented staffers left in company are proactively seeking new opportunities elsewhere; 3) the chairman of the co is untrustworthy, totally unprofessional and thoroughly inept. He has an oversized ego, believes in nepotism over meritocracy and most dangerous has no idea how inept he is; 4) many of the Co's long-time customers are moving to competition because of declining confidence in the Co's mgmt, declining service and poor delivery; 5) compensation for many staffers has become much less attractive over past 12 months; 6) the culture is quickly deteriorating. Culture was a bright point previously (in many offices) but no longer (substandard leaders create substandard culture). I am seeking new opportunities and will move on soon as can find a suitable one.

Pros

You develop an in-depth knowledge regarding several industries. It's a good enough addition to your CV if you have not got much professional experience from before. Some very big clients.

Cons

Low salary for interns (Gradually increases slightly from 10 yuan per hour first month) The job becomes repetitive, with mainly abstractions every day.
