Pros

Engaged in many projects, technologies, able to meet CxOs and key decision makers.

Cons

Poor management (technical guy with some success promoted to people leading position without skills at all), narcissistic, huge amount of politics, only promoting people he can 'control' despite lack of business success compared to others. Atmosphere of fear ('how to survive skills list'). No career path for those ethical and with values unless you leave them behind.

Pros

Not many pros to talk about unfortunately; Generally pay seems to be pretty competitive but that's about all that comes to mind. The R&D team is pretty stable but all other positions are in the direct and constant path of layoffs.

Cons

Very difficult culture being that it's virtually all Chinese management; Nobody in a senior position is from the U.S.; No understanding of how to operate in a mature market like the U.S., treat every market the same; VERY high turnover (layoffs) for U.S. employees which tend to be backfilled by less expensive Chinese employees; Very little trust from management towards U.S. employees

Pros

Broad scope and lot of energy. No one cares whether you accomplish anything or do nothing. Opportunity to travel.

Cons

Centrally controlled by headquarters. You are not really able to get anything done as you would be in an American company.
