Pros

Free food (it's good unless you tried to eat it 2 meals a day, 5 days a week for 5 years) Great Giving culture/spirit (I once donated $500 a year per supervisor request) Diversity amount employees Panda Ways: promoting Healthy lifestyle, Continue Learning, Developing Others and Acknowledging Others

Cons

-Stressful/unbalanced work life- I was told by my supervisor that my loyalty caused me to "work hard but not smart", therefore it's my own fault and my own responsibility to make it work -Unreasonable- Being held accountable for my career advancement based on my personal life: "The way you do anything is the way you do everything", the failure of my personal life would mean I won't do well professionally either. -Unappreciated/unfair- different treatment per competency the company is looking for at the time, and I was told to take English class in front of others in manager meeting several times
