Pros

work will be seen/used by millions, company is highly respected by others in china for success abroad, horrible salary offset by huge bonuses if your boss likes you

Cons

So many people that it's very difficult to own a project, lots of confusion over your role, very low pay, no equity, company is very cutthroat due to large bonuses, management lies to get what they want, churn and burn style with employees

I am sorry you had such an unfortunate experience with Cheetah Mobile. We have brought on HR in the US and are actively working to change things by promoting better communication, better work/life balance, and listening to our employees needs to improve the way things are handled. Your opinion has not gone unheard and I will do my best to try to assess these issues within the company.

Pros

There are a lot of things that are really great about working for Cheetah Mobile. As you would expect from a truly global company, my colleagues are a very diverse group of people. These men and women come together from different backgrounds, speaking many languages, to help Cheetah Mobile succeed in making the world smarter. Honestly, everyone I work with is stellar. They feel like an extension of my family. We work hard, but we also have fun... and we're well compensated. Perks? Lots! We have a fully stocked kitchen, plus the company pays for our lunches every day. There are designated places to relax, or you can rejuvenate a little bit by playing ping pong, billiards, or foosball. Travel is another one of the amazing perks that Cheetah Mobile offers. Our second headquarters is in Beijing, plus we have many other offices around the world. Some teams also attend several events throughout the year, in the United States and internationally. Probably the best thing about working for Cheetah Mobile is being on the cutting edge of technology. AI is the future, and we have some incredibly smart people who are working on the next big AI innovations. I'm proud to be a part of that, and I'm excited to see what's next!

Cons

Everyone works hard, and sometimes meetings in different time zones extend past "normal" work hours. A few meetings are spoken entirely in Chinese, but there are several colleagues who work together to provide the translation. Getting to Palo Alto from San Francisco or San Jose can be time-consuming, especially with the steady increase in traffic. However, work hours are often flexible so that we can avoid the heavy morning and afternoon commute.
