Pros
1. Friendly and supportive colleagues make the workday more bearable. 2. If you're lucky with your manager, there may be some flexibility in working hours. 3. Long lunch breaks (up to 2 hours) due to the company’s China-based culture.
Cons
1. Severely limited learning and development opportunities — no structured training or skill-building support. 2. No annual performance reviews, which leads to a complete lack of transparency around career progression or promotions. 3. Compensation is well below market standards. No salary increments or bonuses for years, regardless of performance. 4. Employee benefits have been significantly downgraded post-2025, including reduced health checks, dental coverage, and co-payment requirements. 5. Management avoids making decisions or taking accountability. 6. Top-down communication style that lacks transparency. Employees are often left in the dark, and feedback channels are ineffective or ignored. 7. There is no remote work option, even post-pandemic. 8. Annual leave and benefits are average at best and do not make up for the poor compensation. 9. Internal culture often feels closed-off, with decisions made behind closed doors (among management's own clique), minimal employee involvement.
