No room for creativity, experimentation or understanding that markets are different, if it works in one city then all other cities around the region must follow the same process. Senior management can be extremely aggressive and expect a high staff turn over, because of this job security can be quite poor. They are not willing to listen to criticism or hear suggestions from local staff within the operational city. Overall communication between head regional office to other offices as well as communication from management down is terrible and almost non-existent, this is includes expectations, changes in roles and the role itself

China. That's it. China. They are secretive and had zero trust in the US team, including it's leaders. They always assumed the US was trying to steal or cheat them somehow. Decision making to MONTHS on even the simplest of things and they required sometimes 8+ approvals for a 1k spend. Members of the China HQ were often abusive in tone and language and would out and out lie to us. They didn't pay vendors so individual employees were personally harassed and threatened by vendors that they would be sued. The way they did business was unscrupulous and dishonest at best. And the US team grew increasingly frustrated and disenchanted with HQ. In the end, they laid off the US leadership in favor of junior folks with no experience because they were Chinese and have childhood relationships with the CEO. Oh, and the Chinese app is now running propaganda for the Chinese Communist party. What's left are a handful of employees who are all looking for new jobs.
