Pros

- Pay and bonus were really great

Cons

- Absolutely no work/life balance (calls all night, no breaks) - Every single person on my team was crying daily - Unless you are Chinese or speak Mandarin, there is minimal opportunity for growth - Monthly changing goals with leadership who have no idea how to meet those goals, and then blame their teams for not meeting goals

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
