We appreciate your feedback, it's very helpful to hear from our international team and their experience of our management structure. The tiered management structure is not for everyone, but it is very common in China. While it may sometimes feel inefficient or unnecessary, this tiered structure is meant to protect employees and to allow them to have attentive managers who interact with them on a daily basis. We also do provide all employees with direct access to upper management and encourage employees to ask questions and interact with all of the CSOFT management team.

Pros

Nice office, some nice colleagues

Cons

Too many, first of all the CEO, she only likes you if you are a handsome, possibly English native, white man, your experience is not relevant and that is why her magic circle is/was full of people that had no idea what to do. Low salary, no opportunities to learn as everyone is pretty young and without experience because they don't want to invest on valuable and more expensive people. No benefits, if they promise you a bonus or some reward you may never receive it many ex CSOFTers sued them for that. If you are pregnant they might fire you, some upper manager strongly suggest to hire men so that they won't be problematic when it comes to pregnancy and maternity leaves. They know how to trick you, they work with fake software, they do not pay social insurance. They are the company you don't want to work for, it used to be a nice place it got worse and worse in recent years. Run away!

Pros

The work can be varied, challenging, and interesting. Clients are some of the best-known companies in China. There are many good chances to use Chinese professionally. Work environment is pretty relaxed, and the Kerry Center office is definitely a punch above one's weight. Being part of a young team and department was a double-edged sword, but the good side of doing things the long and hard way was that I was more involved in the process and learned a lot more from it.

Cons

In my department, at least, there was a Peter Pan culture where anything is possible, everything is magical, lost boys are welcome and made to feel part of something special. Once you've figured out what you want to be when you grow up, however, it's probably time to move on.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed getting involved and hands-on experience in your specific department. We appreciate your honest points about your department too, which is indeed characterized by a young team of expats due to requirements regarding language skills from the China-based clients. We also appreciate your point about timely decision making from upper management. We are committed to "bridging the gap" communication-wise and improving all the channels of communication between managers and across all levels of employees. We strive to improve the items you mentioned as soon as possible. Thanks again!
