Pros

The pay is not bad and they offer benefit.

Cons

Upper management give you impossible goal. Very demanding managers . They expect you to almost be like a robot, you got to hustle all the time. My manager even didn't give us any 10 minutes break. I have work with many companies and none are as demanding as Panda.
