Pros

After a stint at Huawei you will definitely not take a good company culture for granted again.

Cons

No one seems happy because management are open about wanting to offshore as much as they can get away with. Massively under resourced teams often leading to 12hr+ days. Zurich office is micro managed by the mother ship in Shenzhen China. Pressure down management model 'delivered' by ineffective management that flip flop between priorities on a daily basis.

Pros

- You get to learn the job and have industrial experience. - Easy to get in for fresh graduates. - Might be a chance for Masters or Doctorate students for research.

Cons

Where should I start... - Literally too much unpaid overtimes. No work-life balance. - If you don't do overtime enough, you don't get a reasonable raise. - Raises are generally not reasonable. Fresh graduates gets paid more than you next year. - If you get late to work 3 times (let's say by 20 mins, or leave 1 minute earlier), they cut half of your vacation days. - Unreasonable Chinese managers. - You only get a thin client to work with most of the times. The only way to get a laptop is it must be necessary (field job etc.) - Some of the projects are meant to fulfill your manager's KPI, no meaning, waste of time jobs.

Pros

To prove your resistance to be humiliated or ignored. To test your capacity to work in cahotic place where non-Chinese employees have no value. To travel to China for free.

Cons

No respect for local culture No interest in local culture No strategy for local market No understanding or honest will to understand local culture. They expect from you to bring your clients from your former job. If you cannot do that then 4 months later you will be useless for them.
