Pros

Interesting work Good colleagues Everyone is willing to take on challenges Colleagues have integrity about their work Department is growing and changing Empathetic middle managers Fantastic learning experiences

Cons

Company has been undergoing an identity crisis since its inception (it seems) Upper management suffers from complex about needing to please all stakeholders (clients, staff, CEOs, etc) at once (and pleasing no one) Impostor syndrome from interns to CEO Lip service is paid to the importance of culture and job satisfaction, but rarely backed up with action (i.e. better insurance, flexible working hours)

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoy your time with fellow CSOFTers and have experienced the dynamic and exciting development of our Translation and Global Communications departments. We appreciate your point about upper management and hope that all our foreign employees remain culturally sensitive to the management style that is at stake in a Chinese company like CSOFT. At CSOFT, our managers strive to provide realistic deadlines from clients and to set fair expectations of each employee and we appreciate the efforts of all of our employees. At the same time, CSOFT also aims at providing high quality client service which is a must to keep the business running in a competitive industry. We thank you again for your honest comments.

We appreciate your comments and feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed our diverse working environment. During recruitment we strive to hire the strongest applicants and we allow each of them to negotiate their compensation packages. Especially in our China offices, we see many Expats come and go which is normal as they are not local to the region. At CSOFT, we see negative and positive effects of this fluidity; as teams change departments experience new ideas, growth, and energy. It's a flow that we have seen since the founding of our company and we strive to take advantage of its effects. We do hope our employees will become longtime CSOFTers, but we always understand when its time for our team members to take on a new road and new responsibilities elsewhere.
