Pros

The office space is nice, often too nice to lure prospective clients. The work is fair generally and there is not too much overbearing management. Basically you are just fixing Ching-lish all day for companies trying to appear international. Not bad for a first gig out of college....

Cons

...but also not a career building company. Foreign employees are just cattle which is pretty typical in Chinese owned companies. No holidays, low pay, no fringe benefits like visa, housing costs or flight reimbursements. Access to management is there if you really want but ultimately pointless. If you are foreign, your thoughts mean nothing. there are loads of disillusion expats in the company with hyper-career focused minds that think they matter, but just foreign face syndrome. Editing Ching-lish with nicer sounding job titles.

We are so sorry to hear that you felt so undervalued during your time at CSOFT. We do strive to be a workspace which allows growth opportunities for all of our employees and to create an office culture where people have easy access to the decision-makers within the company. It is always sad to hear when an employee of ours has not felt this way. We want to stress that we do value our employees thoughts and feedback and we continue to make efforts to open up communication channels between upper management and our employees. We have set up reviews after 3 months and after 1 year during which managers provide feedback, and set up goals with each employee and also encourage managers to meet with employees for review throughout the year. We really appreciate your comments and feedback and are making every effort to take them under advisement as our office continues to grow.

Thank you for your comments and feedback, we are sorry to hear that you felt your manager was focused more on their own growth than your own. We strive to hire managers who will grow and encourage their employees to allow them more opportunities. At times all employees can feel burdened by the amount of pressure they are under and our managers are not immune to this. In order to avoid employees feeling as if their managers are not helping them to develop, we have opened up access to our entire management team. We continue to work to grow our internal team and promote our best people to positions where they can effectively manage employees and give each staff member a chance to grow.

Diverse and fun work environment, with growth opportunities for those who really want to grab them. Great office spaces. Management is very accessible.

Cons

Pay is terrible. High rotation of foreign employees hurts team stability.

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.
