At the end of the year, there are about five more consecutive days off than ordinary office workers get.

The 8-to-5 schedule is very regular.

Overtime pay is very easy to scam; plenty of people stay at the company surfing the internet and cheating the company out of money. Taking leave is also extremely easy—unless you go too far, basically no one will pay attention to you.

The salary is ridiculously low.

The starting salary is around 32K for bachelor's degree holders and around 42K for master's degree holders, I think.

There is a salary adjustment every year; if you get 600, you should be laughing with joy. The raise is slower than a sloth. As a result, there is a very large gap between employees—at least an eight-year difference.

It is a good place for newcomers to build skills, but staying too long is not worthwhile. I recommend treating it as a stepping stone.
