Svantaggi
In charge by dysfunctional managers know little about both real technical and technology management. Chinese-dominated environment and working culture. Little respect to staff, poor career prospect and heavy overworking expected. Managers steal credits, lie and threat to employees. Intentionally giving less pay raise and benefits so they can pocket bigger bonus. Generally 30% less base pay than same job in US. Only promotes or treat personal friends nice. Employee rights very unclear. Way too many bosses and reporting both locally and around the world. No experienced mentor to guide beginners. No clear focus of work, shift tasks and multiple tapping all the time. Experience here hardy transferable to other industry opportunities. Research work does not yield publication for returning to university easily also. Insecure job due to company vulnerability.
