Pros

- The founder is very engaged in the business, he cares deeply for it and works incredibly hard daily. - The employees the company was able to attract at one point were incredible - Their branding and marketing is industry leading - They genuinely want to do the right thing, and for the most part do.

Cons

- The Chinese culture is a difficult one, even for them, it's extremely punitive and hierarchical making it hard to get things done effectively. - A good majority of the leaders reporting to the founder are very thin skinned and very invested in their own optics over the good of the business, employees and customer.

Pros

Its better than being unemployed

Cons

Everything at this company is so unnecessarily complex. Why do we need two different email addresses, Lark, Google Docs, VPNs, multiple internal systems, and 2FA every other hour just to get through a normal workday? The VPN times out constantly so you’re forced to log back in, random access gets revoked for no apparent reason, and then you’re left opening tickets just to do your job. Half the internal documentation is in Chinese, so good luck trying to figure anything out yourself. None of this makes us more productive. It’s just layers of friction piled on top of each other. Feels like half my job is navigating internal processes instead of actually doing the work. Non existent leadership. Like literally sometimes I forget who’s in charge, we on occasion will hear from our leaders during year end or at random times throughout the year but most of the time they are sight unseen. No work life balance because this company is a global company and people don’t respect work life boundaries. It’s a Chinese company which doesn’t really even try and hide it. The folks from China can be quite rude, sexist and generally very clueless to how to act professionally . It’s pretty sad
