Pros

Trying to do things that look forward facing

Cons

Poor employers with an air of arrogance thinking they know everything. The mid-level management is led by 24-32 year old kids from Beijing who neither apprehend the language, social and cultural aspect of india but dictate how things must work here. While doing so they screw up good products. Besides, they don’t care for experience and pretty bad at giving salary and bonus. The HR system is pathetic and has no clue about overseas employees.

Pros

- Some nice and knowledgeable colleges - nice central located office

Cons

Unethical, unprofessional company, explointment of work laws until their maximum: -change your contract overnight, pressuring people to sign or quit -work on weekends, holidays, nights, shift rotations with weekly changes -Not a good pay check. Even the public sector in Germany pays better. -No work-life balance. Irresponsible management. Extremely unethical HR, -managers are spoiled kids with no people management experience, destroying 70% of the team, making rest of the employees to lose their motivation, -not face paced, just chaotic: decisions from HQ in China follow no logical structure, change overnight -“Changes take time” but suck it up: supervisor promote their friends and leak personal information -“We value every talent” There are no chances to change from jobs/promotion inside of the company. HR just straight lie about it. -HR do not lose any problem inside of the company. -The arrogant and inexperienced supervisor -Fire employees on sick leave, holidays, before crucial dead lines
