Pros

They try to buy you with lunches and clothing. Made some good friends.

Cons

The system is so corporate and international that there is a huge dissonance between what they do in asia as opposed to here. Also, they promise things like bonuses, promotions, but WONT FOLLOW THROUGH. Management sits on their ivory towers and can't be touched. Personnel management is terrible. Also, they spend millions on BS, flaunt it, and then will decrease the budget going towards the employees and promotions etc.

Pros

The company was growing pretty fast and had a startup like pace, until the tariffs happened. SHEIN’s pace slowed down a lot and the company pivoted to cost optimization

Cons

1) company’s leadership, especially the US leadership lacks vision and creates a toxic work culture by constantly belittling people in open and yelling at them. 2) the small group of top leaders almost behave like high school bullies colluding with each other 3) you’ll struggle to survive, let alone succeed, if you don’t speak Chinese. 4) Sheins compensation is significantly below industry peers 5) Daily late night calls with the China team mean a non existent work life balance. You are expected to be available at all times, including late night and weekends
