Direct Entry First Officer

I see many of you discussing working as SO at CX, but few talking about DEFO.

I’m 737 FO in my home country where English is not the first language and my total time is reaching 800 hours or so.
For those of you at CX, would I have any opportunity to enter CX when I have 1000+ hours or are there other factors to get a job at CX like nationality, flight experiences?

I also want to know “crew culture” at CX. It’s quite usual for captain take FO and sometimes even flight attendants to have some beer and light food after long flight, probably 1 or 2 in morning then the FO and other crews are supposed to go with the captain even if they rather want to get sleep in hotel room. It’s power harrassment for some.
I guess there’s no culture like this is CX or other airlines and I want to see if I’m right or wrong.
