Pros

Good environment to improve your Chinese language.

Cons

Turnover is high, particularly among new staff. There appears to be limited effort to retain new hires or support long-term career development, leading to talent instability. Supervisory and leadership roles are given predominantly to employees from China. Local hires often report to these supervisors, leading to perceptions of favoritism and limited advancement opportunities for non-Chinese staff. Chinese is frequently used as the main working language—even in international offices like Singapore. give advise to management

Business Outlook

Pros

Chinese culture in favor to Chinese people, flexible managers and generally friendly colleagues willing to collaborate

Cons

cost cut is everything and eventually talents will be cut too as 'cost', for everyone left the company no matter willingly or not willingly, performance review results would be only C which means all the cost of performance bonus or commissions would be cut to zero. If your offer is in the form of annual package, do expect you would never be paid in full as you would never meet their sales target and performance target as the target is just inrealistic and only top down assigned. For everyone left the company no matter willingly or unwillingly, performance review would be the lowest category no matter what your actual performance was and that would save the company the full amount of bonus or commission, the most toxic financial system among all the peers in this industry

Thank you for your honest feedback. Our Leadership team recently undertook a mandatory leadership training where some managers shared stories of how important it is to be open and listen to their team's ideas and we hope that this will lead to a more inclusive environment.
