Pros

Free food and good pay (and bonus if your boss likes you enough).

Cons

You are basically a customer support officer, there is no real SRE work so no technical depth and no growth for your career. Ruthless in their hiring and firing practices, gives rubbish reasons for termination (hence their job posting is constantly there). All meetings are done in Chinese and so are majority of the documents (these are either outdated or there is none) and conversations. Honestly, do not join.
