Pros

Providing you are aggressive and a political animal you will do well - opportunities will open up to you very quickly. Great development resources provided from international network support. Aggresive in wanting to be the best international bank in China. Room and support for creative solutions

Cons

You are left to fend for yourself, not a culture of offering proactive support to set you up for success. Weak culture in China as a result of quick rotating Snr. Mgt. and executive team being mainly non -Chinese - here on short term assignments. A focus on packaging & marketing vs quality solutions. (politics wins over integrity and quality)
