Pros

good start up salary here in beijing, good working environment

Cons

everything else a lot of VPs, directors try to prove their existence, projects progress slowly too big plans for start up projects to catch with the market. massive lay off, close beijing R&D center less than 4 years from the opening day. lots of engineers fired but left a lot of VPs: "cut the muscle leave the fat"
