Information flow still tends to be 'person to person' via relationships rather than governance which can make things extremely inefficient. Company is (rightfully) being disciplined about costs/expenses, so many functions are running very lean (while at the same time working inefficiently but with high appetite for doing more). Company is evolving into a global organization, but there is still resistance from key players to keep it as a 'China' and 'everyone else' setup...which again makes work efforts inefficient. Depending on role, work hours are long to cover global time zones (and the US employees tend to flex hours to fit the China time zone, rather than the other way around).
