Pros

Health insurance is decent . Snack at work. Coworkers are friendly - at least when the boss does not tell them to be otherwise

Cons

Typical Chinese company - long hours, heavy workload, endless night meetings, low pay, rampant discrimination against women particularly new moms. If you take more than minimal leave or vacation , you’re frowned upon. Company leadership will also find all sorts of excuses to kick people out to avoid paying the severance, no matter how long they have been working for the company.

Pros

Benefits are not bad on top of pay, eg red packet for CNY, Christmas gift etc.

Cons

Management only favor PhD. So even a lot of working experience (like 10 years), the chance of promotion is low. They are on crunch to IPO so getting sales is so important that there is no room to personal development.
