Pros

- Pay can be quite decent for China - Not too heavy workload, better than teaching English - Nice office - Good looking coworkers

Cons

- Get the worst of both worlds: from nitpicky clients and phony upper management - HR policies are super deceiving, you have to pay for your own visa as a foreigner - No additional benefits - Fake reviews on Glassdoor (reviews of over 3 stars are made by Marketing and HR teams)

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the office and enjoyed your time in your job with CSOFT and found the workload to be appropriate. We are sorry to hear about your negative experiences but appreciate your point about clients, upper management and HR. At CSOFT, we comply within the respective company regulations, and we regularly update policies according to Chinese laws. We do the best we can to help and sponsor our foreign employees' visas to China within our budget for payment for our collaborative visa agents. Managers strive to provide realistic deadlines and to set fair expectations of each employee and we appreciate the efforts of all of our employees. CSOFT does not support the creation of fake employee reviews and aims at taking the time to read all company reviews with an open and fair attitude. We thank you again for your honest comments.

Pros

Great colleagues, very nice office location, opportunity to get specialised in telecom/internet localization

Cons

Management does not inspire. Unreasonable demands are made by some clients (possibly due to unclear and unrealistic goals agreed to by management at the time of the client acceptance procedure). Career opportunities are very limited, also due to the fact that management fails to see the potential in people. Good people announce they want to leave the company but management does not supply an alternative to keep the employee content and at work in the company, which would benefit the company's success and progress.

We are sorry to hear your frustration around your career path and development though. We’re committed to making this better and know we still have work to do so we can all grow and have a successful career here at CSOFT and would like to invite you to reply here to elaborate on your negative experiences.
