Pros

1. The company assists in providing an actual legal work visa to get to China. 2. Exposure to major Chinese and international companies. 3. The other employees are friendly and helpful as long as it doesn't involve rocking the boat with upper management.

Cons

Extremely dysfunctional working environment. Managers are overwhelmed with work so lower level employees are basically ignored until major issues arise. The employee turnover rate is so high it's difficult to get answers or follow up with processes. There is also no accountability when staff take time off so employees are left without any direction or person to go to in case of issues or questions. The business model is unpredictable and unsustainable due to the range of project sizes and unstable relationships with current customers. There is no clear path for growth within the company and the few employees who "move up" are only given a higher quantity of the same monotonous work and not given any more responsibility or say in the direction of the company. Lastly, the pay scale is quite low in comparison to other companies hiring foreigners in China (including English teaching jobs).

Pros

Outside of "emergencies", I had decent work-life balance as a remote employee. Immediate team members were great.

Cons

Other reviews will say the same - upper management is wild. I had a decent time at this company only so long as I fell under the radar, but you'll have to interact eventually. Leadership plays favorites. There are a few employees who have been there for ages. Anyone can come under fire at any time, and if you're not a favorite you might be "laid off."
