Pros

- Tier 1 benefits - lots of resources/budgets for projects - lots of opportunities as the company grow very fast - tried to be diversified

Cons

- culture and management would be a disaster if hiring manager and HR is located in China. In short, you are manager will use the China way to mange oversea employee, which is no sense. - work life balance is horrible, 12 hours of work a day and meeting on Sunday evening is normal. - immature Junior management come from China make a lots of trial and error that have high risk on failure, and management will find a way to pass away their failure. - people working on take the credit instead work. One China senior employee said it’s important to have a good relationship with the high management team then work
