Pros

Nothing good about this company

Cons

- Worst management: Even IPR manager " A naturalized China Singaporean" said "China Team dont the need to learn English and they don't need to". Top management who dont speak Chinese also said "I will look out when there's a chance, as this is purely China culture" - The manager let non-chinese speaking members "indirectly" report to China team, even when the China team speak English badly. - All training documents are in Chinese language, with inaccurate/ vauge meaning auto translation. - People who dont speak Chinese are discriminated. Lunch and casual meetings are carried out in Mandarin/Chinese despite lots of non-chinese speaking members. - You have to suck up to China team if you want internal insights, or progression. - Processes super unclear, all require flattering China people to move forwards - China team made bad decisions then put the blame on lower level when issues arrised, and China team held no responsible for solutions. - If you don't speak Chinese, joining this horrible workplace is just to clear the mess and take all the blame.
