Vantaggi
Life is miserable and isolated if you do not speak Chinese. However, the place is heaven for Chinese who speak horrendous English, especially if you are in upper management.
Svantaggi
Leadership has absolutely no technical skill and zero people skill. Upper executive used re-org to consolidate his position. Since the upper executive lack technical skill, the place is ruled by intimidation. Competent people were threw under the bus and career ruined. Once an employee injured his leg and his manager approved him to work for home. After three days working from home, the HR fired him immediately saying that he did not informed the HR that he is working from home! In another incident, some team ordered company-paid take out diner because of an evening meeting with China HQ but the meeting was canceled. An upper executive was thought that the team cheated a free diner and thrown a trash can full of paper plates across the conference room.
