Pros

- Good pay if you are from China. - Fantastic for those who only play politics.

Cons

- Micromanage, unpredictable, no vision at all. Everything driven by extremely short-sighted decisions. - Not able to attract real talents, stuck with incompetent figureheads. - Very China-centric. No career path for non-Chinese leaders. Not willing to change. - Little respect on human. China HQ has no listening skills at all.
