Pros

Some of the people on local teams are friendly to work with

Cons

Upper management is unethical. Company also makes people sign a highly restrictive noncompete to join and to be promoted as a scare tactic to try to make people not leave. They especially treat the Chinese employees poorly and don’t pay well while overworking everyone
