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.

Pros

Free lunch, although options are limited and it's usually cold by the time you're allowed to step out of the lab to eat.

Cons

Management does not care about you. HR does not care about you. Employees come and go, and they do not listen to their employees. We were routinely assigned work over our stated capacity and all pleas fell on deaf ears. Work here if you need to get your foot in the door, but get out as soon as you find a better job.

Pros

Most of the people are great.

Cons

"Contract to hire" for entry positions, most people don't last 6 months to be eligible. Pay is competitive with Walmart and doing well does not get you hired, they only open a few positions per year to convert from contract to employee. Just downsized, and planning to replace more people with staff brought over from China. High demands and no support from upper management.

Pros

Free lunch - probably lower than market value pay in return.

Cons

Cutthroat attitudes and nonsensical expectations of human employees. Treated every mistake as a threat to business instead of a learning opportunity.

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.

Appreciate the feedback on having a great team and we are always looking at ways to further improve the work-life balance and create a more engaged workforce. We purchased a Gallup Access platform last year with many helpful suggestions and action plans our Management team can incorporate into their work environment to strive to achieve this.
