Pros

Good intro to the security tech world; "fair" salaries; mostly friendly coworkers; the management was good to me when I first started in 2015 (but those people no longer work there)

Cons

dying company; China-based; Mandarin-speakers get special treatment, but probably lower pay (not sure); company culture is depressing; all the good people left during the covid-lock-down era

Pros

The team members were supportive and willing to answer technical questions, which helped me quickly understand the project structure and engineering practices. I also learned a lot about integrating machine learning models into real production environments.

Cons

I did not encounter any major issues during my internship. Most of the challenges were related to learning new systems and technologies, which was part of the learning process.

Pros

As a multinational company, Hikvision offers great exposure to well-established professional processes and the opportunity to work alongside talented colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Employees also get the chance to take ownership of important, high-impact projects, which is valuable for career development

Cons

The North America business has been in decline, which creates uncertainty around growth opportunities and team stability. Compensation is also not competitive compared to industry standards in the region, making it harder to retain top talent
