Pros

Meal allowance, Lunch $20 Dinner $25 after 7PM, that's all.

Cons

1. Shockingly Unprofessional “Relationship Culture" The team suffers from seriously blurred boundaries and messy male–female relationships that everyone seems aware of but no one addresses. Personal entanglements, favoritism, and inappropriate closeness between certain employees create a toxic environment where professional standards simply don’t exist. It feels less like a workplace and more like a soap opera. 2. Old-School Chinese SOE-Style Command & Bureaucracy Culture This team operates with the worst traits of a state-owned-enterprise mentality: - Absolute obedience - No questioning allowed - 24/7 on-call - Decisions based on who flatters whom - Zero international or modern management capability If you want to experience rigid, hierarchical, obedience-first “horse culture,” this is it. 3. Engagement is total Disaster Employee engagement scores remain at the bottom of the entire company, year after year. More than 5 HRBPs died because of supporting this team in just two years. Yes, less in 2 years. 4. Zero Inclusion, Zero Global Mindset Most managers are overseas for the first time and have no understanding of multicultural management. No inclusion and No respect. If you don’t speak Chinese, forget about growth, visibility, or opportunities. You will always be treated as an outsider.

Pros

Free food. It’s like they think pizza and stale donuts can make up for a soul crushing job.

Cons

management is a chaotic mess, making decisions like a toddler playing with a light switch— random and disastrous. the CEO? a walking disaster who’d rather admire their own reflection than lead. we churn out products so bad they make clipart from 1998 look cutting edge buggy pointless and rushed to meet delusional deadlines. Work life balance? non existence. they expect you to live at your desk, answering at 3 am. 24/7 work culture is their idea of joke. but the punchline is your burnout. no international exposure, just like a claustrophobic bubble of bad ideas. the free food is their only perk and it’s basically a bribe to keep you trapped in their safe little dystopia. Run don’t walk away from this dumpster fire.
