Pros

Great work-life balance and strong flexibility. The environment is generally comfortable, and many of the people are good to work with. There is also room for creativity, and employees are often given freedom to bring ideas and think in new ways.

Cons

Career growth can be challenging, with limited advancement opportunities in some teams. Internal politics can sometimes play too large a role in promotion decisions. Salary increases are difficult to obtain, and the process often feels unclear and not very transparent, so it is important to negotiate well before joining because compensation may remain stagnant for a long time. Performance reviews do not always reflect the true value of the employee and can sometimes feel more like a company tool than a real path for recognition and advancement. The company often operates at a very intense pace, with frequent internal changes that can make stability difficult. In some cases, visibility and internal influence seem to matter more than consistent performance and merit. There is also not always enough appreciation for long-term employees when it comes to compensation. Targets can be very aggressive and sometimes feel unfair, which can make bonus achievement harder. In addition, employee perks in Israel could be improved. What is offered in the kitchen has been reduced significantly over time and does not feel aligned with a company of this size. Holiday gifts also need improvement and do not feel competitive compared with the broader market. Overall, there is still a lot of room to improve when it comes to employee experience and benefits relative to the Israeli market.

Pros

Pay is level with industry and actual work is somewhat interesting depending on the team you're on

Cons

In my experience, career growth can feel very limited if you are not part of the dominant internal language and cultural network. A significant amount of important context, communication, and decision-making happens in Chinese, which can make non-Chinese-speaking employees feel excluded from key conversations and promotion opportunities. The environment did not feel as inclusive as it should be for a global company. Advancement often felt less tied to performance and more tied to whether you were connected to the right groups or able to operate fluently within the Chinese-speaking side of the organization. Over time, it felt like non-Chinese-speaking employees had fewer long-term career paths and were at risk of being replaced by people who could better fit that internal operating model. Things also move very slowly because employees are often given access only to the bare minimum needed to do their jobs. There is a heavy push toward using AI tools, but in practice it can make it harder to get help from real people. Instead of getting quick support, you often have to spend time going through AI bots or internal tools before getting a useful answer.
