Pros

The benefits and pay. Name holds weight too in US.

Cons

Long hours, you work all night to adhere to Chinese schedule. All decisions and direction come from that market, so western perspectives are often not valued

Pros

can make direct impact and see your results

Cons

Most of the leadership team is Chinese, and meetings are occasionally held in Chinese, making it harder for non-Chinese staff to engage fully in strategic discussions. There’s also a noticeable level of internal politics and unclear favoritism.
