Pros

This company is 95% Chinese. If you aren't Chinese your experience is different (not bad, just different). I'm not Chinese. People were really polite, and easy to work with. I enjoyed the company of most employees, and had no hassle with gender/ethnicity. They do try to put emphasis on fairness. No one is allowed to take gifts from merchants. These gifts are raffled off several times a year, duing potlucks. Once a year they have a friends/family day where you can buy damaged/discontinued merchandise for pennies on the dollar. They are very serious about respect and sevice to the customer. People really care about newegg.com customers. It's a bsis that helps people agree and work together. 401k match, full benefits, and for manual laborers there's WC insurance, very thoughtful.

Cons

Senior management is downright secretive. No, absolutly *no* room for advancement. No training, zip, don't even think about it. Their cheap, and will try to bully you into being on time, not takig vacation, showing "whose boss". Call thri bluff, and they back down. I was late every day for 2 years, nothing happened. I came in at a high salary for my job, because I counter offered. There's HR shenanigans going on with H1 visas. People get shuttled back and forth between China and LA a lot. About 50% of the company is recently from China.

Pros

For recent grads it's a decent 1st or 2nd job. Lots of staff in mid 20's but don't expect to learn much or make competitive wages.

Cons

Little to no training. Outside of 1 or 2 people upper management isn't qualified to be doing their jobs. Mainland Chinese management with little exp running a big ecommerce company. Heavy pro asian environment. Very few bright people.... lots of mediocre folks who would have been fired anywhere else. Heavy turn over of staff with top people not hanging around long. Place isn't what you would expect for a profitable ecommerce company.

Pros

No official layoff plan. Your job is secured if you do not violate any company policy.

Cons

Not rewarding for hard working or excellent output. Lower and middle management has no authority to reward their team members. They can't even make salary adjustment. There's no clear report channel. Any top management or department manager could assign you a new project. The annual planing and KPI setting are not really working. Top management often assigns a corporate project in the middle of year and asks for highest priority with due date in 3 months.
