Pros

Significantly improved leadership and communication Committed employees who care about the Mission and each other Employee Discounts on our awesome products Rapidly evolving work practices, improved flexibility Really excited for the new office space (I have seen it)

Cons

A couple senior leaders have big ego's (but this has been my experience at every company) Cross functional teamwork is getting better but needs to stay on that track Volume of work with the transformation is high in some areas. Some functions have got alot more resources and are finally working on improving processes and technology. Expensive Benefits but Above Average Pay

Pros

i like the product and the way of they working in USA

Cons

the local team in Shen Zhen is not friendly. the procurement team working together with supplier to complain me to my manager in USA, the only reason is I drawn sample size according to sampling plan, while other people only check 5pcs. we always travel to different suppliers in different location, while the belongings ( clothes) has no enough time to get it dried. when I claim the travel expense, my local manager ( HK person who worked in SGS) always find excuse to reject my expense claim. and asking me to block email sent by my manager in USA, and hang-up the phone call from USA manager. which I refused doing so. I working there in 2005- 2007.10, and then I left the company.
