Is Cathay worth it?

I have been turned down about four years ago after the second interview.
I was told that if I got some heavier experience I could get another shot.
I have been flying the B747-400 for a while now.
During the years I made quite a few friends flying for Cathay and it seems like they are more misrable then the avarage pilot.
It seems like they QOL and pay are pretty desent(compared to other Airlines) but the usual complain I get is about the people you work with and have to put up with.
Training department being extremley unfriendly, a very anal cockpit enviorment, constant treats with termination, putting down F/O, making you feel bad about your flying skills, never having anything positive to say about you, etc...
Basically a very unfriendly working enviornment.
Is that true, is good money and a nice apartment in Hong Kong worth being miserable, hating to go to work?
Any input is welcome
