Pros

- Very good salaries and benefits (deliveroo vouchers, gifts during festivals and flexible benefits) - Flexibility to work from home - Company do have significant growth opportunities outside of the china market

Cons

- Lack of diversity and inclusion: very Chinese culture and if you cannot speak mandarin it will be tough for you. Documents and meetings are mainly in chinese (even though there are non-chinese speakers) - Lack of transparency in progression and messy management - Unreasonable long hours due to the unclear process which resulted in a lot of duplication of work and no clarity and proper alignments - Multiple teams working on the same tasks due to competitiveness of the teams and no clear leadership direction. - Organisation generally cares more about doing the work rather than focusing on personal growth and development. If you cares about progression then forget about joining a chinese organisation.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
