Pros
Competitive pay Good local people
Cons
1. ZERO LEADERSHIP!!! US operations being lead by a incompetent, inexperienced, and out of touch overseas leader who does not have a clue how US market makes decisions. 2. Very Time consuming and cumbersome expense reimbursement process. I spent at least 3 to 4 hours a week filling out expenses reports on line that was built for Chinese language readers. And it took literally 12 people to sign off on the report. If anyone of the approvers rejected the report you had to start all over again. 3. Product marketing collateral being written by the Chinese engineering team who reside in China and have no business or experience writing material for the US market. 4. Culture of Sell Sell Sell and always asking when are you going to close the deal with our asking any details about the prospects buy process and time line. They do not care about the prospects pains we are solving. Leadership only cares about revenue. 5. Internal culture of us versus them. (China vs. US) 6. China team members, and I mean the implementation and support team is about 99% Chinese. Chinese is not the issue the issue is they have zero US business culture experience and limited English understanding. 7. In the almost 2 years I was there I had three 1:1 meetings with my boss. And the thee times we did meet he added zero value to the conversation. He simply does not understand how to discuss a deal with the sales person to help move the deal forward. 8. One time I went into his office to give an update and he fell asleep right in front of me. Maybe that's on me? 9. It's common to have support team members come and go back to China because of Visa issues. It was very frustrating to have a support team member partnered with you on a deal only to have them disappear back to China without any heads up. One time serval sales people were looking for the Sales Manager only to be told he went back to China and would be back in 30 days. 10. US leadership affaid to meet with prospects Senior Leadership team.
