Pros
There are some pretty awesome coworkers.
Cons
TLDR: The company is run by a huge micromanager. The leadership team is comprised of brown-nosers who have given up on their professional career in return for a fat check every month. Work here if you don't have aspirations, or stay long enough to sell your soul to the she-devil. Fun fact: if you accept a job here, ask around about the 2017 summit poop incident. It's a story you won't forget. I also think it's a money laundering scheme due to the very expensive properties under company name. Now read on for a SMALL look into the company culture: EVERYTHING is gilded - shiny on the outside, fake on the inside. The hiring process may appear streamlined and professional but is a true mess behind the scenes, like "your manager doesn't even know you were hired until you come in for your first day" kind of mess. New hires are also randomly assigned to a manager (who may or may not be competent or in the same office or country as you). Often times, the work is coordinated with global teams, but this often leads to miscommunication or pushbacks due to cultural differences. That's only if and when work is assigned to you because the rest of the time, employees are twiddling their thumbs waiting to clock out, shopping online, or playing games. You're forced to work with pirated software and suggestions for improvements are often ignored. Or if something is a good idea, don't expect any progress on it for months or years. The reason being the CEO won't approve the budget for any efficiency. You can also expect employees to instruct their managers on how to do their job. But this brings me to a great point. The core issue with this company is management. The CEO will have very public arguments with her VP in the office. She's also an INTENSE micromanager. She creates random meetings with inflated numbers AND she takes roll-call too. Speaking of which, you may be pulled into these calls that may or may not pertain to you at all. She also likes to assign the most menial task to anyone within hearing distance, for example, "fetch me a coffee". For the more "important" tasks, she will also approach you directly instead of checking with your manager to see if you have the bandwidth to take on more work or not. She's also known to hire "good looking" people, but don't take it as a compliment if you get an offer. You would be another piece in her collection and you would be expected to bend to her will. There's also very little efforts for diversity. The CEO loves to talk about how it's a global company, but let's be honest, it's a Chinese company with a global workforce. Take a look at all the executives on the company site, essentially 90% Chinese. The only way to survive in this culture is to be Chinese. Why? Because like most Chinese companies, they only appear to care about their employees when it reflects kindly of them, aka "saving face". Cutting it short here because if you're not convinced yet to stay away, then you won't ever be.
