Pros

they are doing good business for sure. as a shareholder I would love to own it. their philosophy is customer centered, everything is to create the best customer experience, even at the expense of low profit margin, which I totally agree. the loyal customer base is essential.

Cons

however, they extend their frugality to its employees, plus awful operational load, crazy releasing cycles all contributes to its high turn over rate. if you are single new graduate, this is a place for you, there are fun projects for you. however if you are with family, think twice before you come.
