      Pros

      Known brand. Some good highly skilled people. Great canteen

      Cons

      Too many to mention. No duty of care, not interested in local opinion if doesn't suit HQ view. Don't listen unless you're Chinese. No learning on the job to be done. No personal or career growth. Long, long working hours - 18 hour days aren't enough. Business model not adapted to local environment. Cannot wait to leave. Employees are machines not people. No smiling, very negative environment. Like working in a morgue. Dreadful place to work if you're a positive person. Soon turns you into a depressed, overworked puppet. Cannot wait to leave. Pay under the market average.

      Not the best of places to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good career opportunities in senior management roles requiring more experience and contacts than in other similar companies within the industry. - Some autonomy locally and regionally, but still micro-managed by Chinese senior management. - Easy access to Chinese senior management, especially if you are meeting your targets and/or bringing value to the company. - Great opportunity to visit HQ in Shenzhen, PR China on various occasions, especially planned customer visits there. - Company, and thus, opportunities are always growing and available (short-term). - Great opportunity to see how Chinese technology firms work and operate.

      Cons

      - Loads of communications problems and issues. - Most of the senior management are Chinese expatriates - many with no experience. - Constantly micro-managed and second guessed (especially from HQ). - Everything is a "state" secret and information is hoarded by the few. - Business practices can verge on the unethical, and there is definitely a business cultural difference with Western business practices and business ethics. - There is no career advancement opportunities for non-Chinese staff above a certain level. - Salary is slightly below average - bonuses will always be lower than you expect (loads of fine print and other vague policies).
