Pluspunten
- Sponsors a wide range of work visas — OPT, STEM OPT, Day-1 CPT, H-1B, and GC (L1 not offered)
- 401(k) with employer match (modest) and HSA eligibility (no match)
- Heavy workload, but you gain hands-on industry experience quickly with high impact and visibility — be prepared to learn largely on your own
- Most coworkers, especially at the junior-to-mid level, are friendly and willing to help
- More stable than big tech in terms of layoffs, though as of 2026 the company has started letting people go for reasons unrelated to performance
- Hybrid (WFH on Fridays)
Minpunten
- Visa sponsorship can be blocked at the boss'es discretion. There's no clear, standardized criteria for starting the GC process
- Poor work-life balance, especially for Business Analyst roles — late nights and weekends are common to meet unrealistic deadlines or resolve client issues. Working hours for engineering team are more tolerable (roughly 9 to 7 when nothing is urgent)
- Low pay
- The boss is pushy and harsh, and at times irrational, which creates significant stress across the company.
- High turnover on the business team, roughly 30–40% annually over the past two years
- Limited diversity, and Mandarin proficiency is effectively required.
- The business has been declining compared to the previous five years, which makes long-term stability and job security uncertain
