Pros

My leader cares about me, always reminds me to take time off when the project is less busy; The team - I enjoy working with my team members in China The culture - our Talent & Culture team in China has adopted the same Calix culture in China, and there are so many re-hires working in our office

Cons

We have a high bar for the quality of the software we develop and a tight schedule for the cadence release, sometimes, I feel like I don't have enough time to learn anything else

Pros

Decent salary. You'll also quickly gain valuable experience in how not to operate on your next job: a lesson that will serve you well in future roles.

Cons

Old-fashioned work culture where you're expected to execute without question. Excessive overtime work, release cycles are chaotic, and there's little appetite for improving systems or sustainability, it's all about following orders rather than thinking critically.
