Pros

- A fast-paced environment, since VPs are always busy promoting themselves - Problems are solved efficiently and perfectly. If anything goes wrong, simply get rid of the person who raises the issue. When everyone shuts up or gets fired, the problem is resolved. And once again, the day is saved, thanks to Mojo Bubbles! - All men are created equal, so they let go competent scientists and brilliant CTO. The official reason is they make NetBase far ahead of competitors - Life in NetBase is always exciting and challenging, since you face all kinds of discrimination. Gender, age, marriage status, nationality, you name it, you get it! You get insulted and depreciated on a daily basis - People are nice to you, if and only if you are in the same clique. If you join the "right" clique successfully, congratulations, you can do whatever you want. Otherwise you get bullied, and it's all your fault - Management are always beyond your imagination. Domain experts don't know the market, and Kotler does not teach you how to win a better title -- only VPs do - NetBase is not a software company, but a political party. Join NetBase to polish your BS skill, and you will be ready to run for senator. Don't be afraid if you do not have a technical background. If you can do elementary school level math, you are not the worst And the best part of the company culture is their CRIAR value: - Customer Focus: NetBase never educates customers; they only focus on those buzzwords that customers know. Management are not capable of defining a roadmap, and they are not interested in the future of the industry and technology - Respect: VPs and directors are sincerely respected, even if they plagiarize members' ideas and credits. All proposals before piracy do not have any business value - Integrity: Read the comments here carefully, and you can find a different definition of integrity. They defame people who give real feedback; only fine-sounding words are encouraged - Agility: They are so agile that they refuse to meet the deadline. Self-discipline means stubbornness; you need to be agile in order to achieve low quality together - Result Oriented: Meeting minutes is the key result they pursue. Some people spend more than 1/3 of their time in meetings. Management spend more than 80%. Some decisions are made before the meetings, others can never be made from one meeting to another

Cons

- Good work-life balance, since there is not much to do. It makes most people forget that it is a toxic and unhealthy environment

Dishonest Company

Pros

- You have the ability to work remotely. - A handful of people are kind and helpful.

Cons

Wow, where to begin? For starters, they have had issues with hiring talent so management has forced employees to write fake reviews. Notice how they all were written within a span of 3 days and all sound similar.... This is one of many examples of how dishonest NetBase is. The product is extremely slow/buggy and is sub par compared to other social listening tools out there. NetBase's leadership team is full of people who were promoted into their roles based on seniority and not merit. This leads to either extremely arrogant or inexperienced managers who fail to motivate, inspire and manage their teams, leading to a high turnover. For example, one of the younger managers had a 100% turnover rate on his/her team in the last year, yet they continue to allow him/her to hire new and unsuspecting people. The entire UK team also had an extremely high turnover rate in the last year due to poor management and a lack of support.

Pros

NetBase created a company value system that balances multiple factors that are optimal for employees, customers and investors. The company values results highly along with other important things such as respect among employees, particularly across teams. The culture is positive and strong, and very much helped the company become a marker leader.

Cons

The company values are applied to individuals. If you don't fit, you will be told so and possibly terminated. The negative reviews here are obviously written by people who are grinding their ax due to being terminated or given poor performance reviews.
