      Business outlook

      Pros

      Strong foundational technology and a talented engineering team to collaborate with. Exposure to innovative AI projects is a definite plus for resume building. Competitive salary and decent benefits package.

      Cons

      Product vision and strategy often felt dictated rather than collaborative. Decision-making processes between the US and China teams could be slow and opaque, hindering agile execution. Limited autonomy in roadmapping compared to peers.
