Pros

* Good, consistent bonuses * Benefit plans comparable or better than most companies * Large, stable company, doing very well globally

Cons

* All project decisions are made in China, decision making process is unclear, and there is little or no local participation in the process * Very little employee communication about the company, other projects, long term plans etc. * Little or no sharing between projects * Career growth limited if you don't read and write Mandarin * No stock options, RSUs etc. * Uncomfortable work environment if you don't speak Mandarin - a lot of business conducted in Mandarin, most hallway conversations in Mandarin and somewhat loud
